Status-bar flickers ... (Hope someone can reproduce this) ... No such problem with 0.3.7.3
Status bar flickers on my system too (f2k v0.9.6.9 beta 1, CUI v0.3.7..
But till yet I thought this would depend on the font for the status bar (Tahoma 8pt on mine).
The new text renderer is slightly slower, I guess you are more likely to see the status bar in the state before the text is drawn. But I don't really see any significant flickering - only if I put VBR updates to some silly value. What OS are you both using? That might have something to do with it.
My operation systems are Windows XP SP2/3 (I use several computers).
I use a more complex Title format script for the Status bar (update interval 1 second), sometimes the information is longer than the Status bar itself.
The flickering occurs with CBR and VBR files, the default update interval for VBR files (Preferences, Advanced, Display) is unchanged (2 seconds), but based on my script it should make no difference.
My Title format script for the Status bar:
$rgb(0,0,255)$if($strcmp($left(%path%,7),'http://'),'[- online -] ','['drive $left(%path%,2)'] ')$rgb()
%codec%[ %codec_profile%]' ('$info(encoding)')'
$if($stricmp(%__encoding%,lossless),' ['$div($mul(%bitrate%,100),$mul(%__channels%,%__bitspersample%,$div(%samplerate%,1000)))'% of original]',)
