WindowBlinds supports a feature called "Hyperpaint". This is different from "Smart Paint". Hyperpaint uses the extra video RAM on your video card to "buffer" your windows which makes moving them on screen possible without any repainting.

The settings depend updon your system/GPU specs ...

Thanks for replying. But could you explain what you mean by "buffering"? Would I be correct in assuming that this means the card's RAM is used first rather than using the system RAM? And I don't know what you mean in the bolded statement, re: "moving them"?? Moving what?

As I asked initially, is there any advantage to using "HyperPaint"? Will there be any noticeable difference in what is displayed on my monitor in regular use? I do not play any type of games, or play DVD's, or have a TV hooked up to my PC, if that is of any help. Any what system "specs" are you referring to. Please excuse my ignorance on this subject. But I would like to learn.

Sorry for the double reply .... there was a "glitch" when trying to post it.

I think it has to do with resizing and dragging around.

As someone already posted, HyperPaint uses your video card's RAM instead of system RAM (the amount is determined by the slider). It basically will speed up how fast your windows paint on the screen, allowing you to drag them around smoothly, appear faster, etc.

Yarlen,

Thanks for making things much clearer. After enabling it, I can see a little difference.
