Thanks! I solved both problems by reinstalling MinGW and MySys and by handling the lose-focus event with "ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_MINIMIZE)"

Under win7 when I use Alt+Tab my app loses focus but its not minimized, it stays there in fullscreen. I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del. (I dont know if it has anything to do with it but the debugger doesnt...

Im working on a 3D modelling program. Ive made a similar rotate gizmo as in 3DS Max. I disabled DepthTest so the gizmo is in front of all the other objects, but the 3 rings "hide each other"...

Thanks! Thats what I needed(well ...no. a new PC:)) The video is perfect but the app becomes 10x slower. I need it for demos, it will be OK.

Sorry for this offtopic. Im trying to record an openGL screen. Now Im currently using Blueberry Flashback. It has "Record games or videos" mode but it still does a poor job. It slows down the...

Are there places on the net where I can find such images? Well, I can find plenty backgrounds but I cant "take those apart" ...so its not good for scrolling. Thanks!

Thanks! It worked(glDepthRange(1, 1)) except that Im doing parralax scrolling with more layers and now it draws them according to the drawing sequence.
