Re: [patch] GAL pixel alignment

 

Hi all,
I just tested this on Win10 x64 and it's a huge improvement.
Would love to see this in 5.1 since I'm basically forced to use fallback
mode on current nightlies because opengl is plain ugly. And opengl
performance is noticeably better than fallback (and a lot better than
legacy).
