Subject: Turn off desktop compositing in Windows ("Aero") for Radiant.
X-Git-Url: https://git.rm.cloudns.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df061f7435ff6ee0ac90e14dbbba864930bc5c2f;p=xonotic%2Fnetradiant.git

Turn off desktop compositing in Windows ("Aero") for Radiant.
Otherwise, "hall of mirrors" effect takes place in the OpenGL viewports.
This fix is a real hack.  It's actually borrowed from other Radiants such
as NetRadiant.  I'd like to fix the underlying issue someday so that Aero
can be used with Radiant.
