[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are right. 
I didn’t expect the dots to be different, but every 10th dot is the bigger one.

BTW:
I do seem to get a popup “OpenGL 2.1 supported” on every start recently.
Is that on intention and what should it tell me (apart from the fact that OpenGL 2.1 is supported… :) )?
It is quite annoying… could this information maybe be moved to the About dialog?


Regards,
Bernhard
