#Add a button to disable Halloween fog effect or make it static

I know we can disable the whole theme on top right but it will disable everything.
Please consider adding a button to disable the fog effect only for better performance.
I blocked the fog by adding 7tv.app##.fog-area in an adblocker and saved around 20% of CPU usage

And Anatole was worried 3x emote previews were too much of a preformance hit

faint warren
#

Cluemore
anatole: no, i will make emote card previews smaller. surely that is the cause of the loss in preformance

yeah I'd prefer this over pixelating the emotes LULE

frank abyss

#

there are also 3 layers of fog

#

I've noticed

frank abyss
#

yeah LULE

charred mica
#

And they all use the same image (I supplied 2 different fog images to use as layers)

#

the images are webp and only like 100 kb

#

do browsers like decompress images to ram to display them?

rich arrow
#

yes

#

otherwise you'd need to spend a lot of time decompressing every frame

#

also 6-8ms avg time to render a frame KKonaSmile sound fine to me

charred mica
#

huh

#

well I can make a smaller version

flint spade
#

i know about this, it seems that browsers are very inefficient at animating things in general

#

especially large bitmaps

charred mica
#

it'll probably need to be re-rendered to make sure it's still seamless though, as opposed to just resizing the image

#

@flint spade is the 3rd layer intentional?

flint spade
#

i'm gonna reduce the intensity

charred mica
#

3rd layer looks like a duplicate of the 2nd

charred mica

@flint spade

#

256x256

flint spade
#

it might not be needed

#

but i'll see if that reduces it further

#

i got the load down pretty low now i think

charred mica
#

nice

#

are fog2 and fog3 gonna be animating at different speeds now? Or will there just be 2 layers?

flint spade
#

i lowered it to 1 layer

charred mica
flint spade
#

the smaller file also helps a little in reducing load

#

and doesn't look worse really

#

ppl are gonna keep asking

charred mica
#

yeah people want 2 layers moving at different speeds

#

instead of the weird brightness changes

#

trust me. I took a poll in my local community

frank abyss
#

trust me bro

gaunt cloak
#

idgaf about the layers

#

it's the emote quality that needs to be addressed so we don't get 14 people an hour asking about it

flint spade
frank abyss
#

trueTrue its the emote showcase, the best quality has to be shown there

gaunt cloak
flint spade
#

deployed

#

let me know if load is lower now @rich arrow @charred mica

frank abyss
#

down to 10% of my cpu now forsenOkay

flint spade
#

it's still going to be more than default theme but hopefully not bitcoin miner levels now

#

i tried to make it use gpu rendering when possible as well

frank abyss
#

isnt that the hardware acceleration thing? which most people turns it off

flint spade
#

yes

rich arrow
#

yea it's better now, half the time taken

flint spade
#

nice

#

there are still a large amounts of bad optimizations on the site

sharp zephyr
flint spade
#

will get through them later this month once my work on the extension is further along

charred mica
#

the fog looks like it's scaled way up, like you can't see detail anymore. Granted, there IS less detail in the smaller one, so you don't see pixels, but there should be more than I'm seeing right now

frank abyss
charred mica
#

hardware acceleration makes things perform better every time you change it

#

whether you're turning it off, or on

#

stuff performs better after you change it

frank abyss
sharp zephyr
#

Turn it off and on again

charred mica
#

it's purely perceptual though

add back the bitcoin miner pls

Add an option to disable animation on emote preview

#

Every time I go on the featured page my PC literally gets laggy

frank abyss
#

yeah because it loads all the emotes in that featured set FeelsDankMan

feral anvil
#

I know

#

That's why you can add an option to load them as static and then if you go to the emote page it'll be animated

#

Maybe add some sort of icon to the preview to show that the emote is animated

sharp zephyr
#

Only animate on hover would be better imo

feral anvil
#

Anything would be better than the current situation

#

Imo

sharp zephyr
frank abyss
#

to make them static, the site now has to process every emotes again to split 1 frame? FeelsDankMan

#

set a limit like Emotes site could help, 50 emotes/page

#

or depend on your screen size/zoom

FeelsDankMan oh

sharp zephyr
#

All previews would just use the . Pngs
