Comment 27 for bug 1160353

Hi RJ,

sorry for committing without a final go.
Let me explain why I was quite satisfied with the current solution:

* I do not like pop pup boxes that suddenly appear. The user is interrupted in it current use case. In this case he can simply disable spinnies to hide the text. Mixxx will work fine without openGL but without Spinnies
* The text is actually skinned, set by the background properties which is a QLable as well :-)
* This does not hurt even if you don't understand the complete message. The significant word openGL is international anyway.
* The skin designer should not worry about this issue, because he most likely is not able to check the dummy widget.
* this solution has less dependencies and less effort.
* the user can already see his openGL status below the waveform properties.
* not at least this solution was Max's idea which we both agreed

Now, I would wait for feedback from Ewan. But feel free to revert my commit. This is a corner case anyway, which is issued due to a bad driver setup.

Kind regards,

Daniel
