Jeeeeeeeeeez... I make one small suggestion and all the old farts in the 
church come to rip my head off! (: (I'm making a joking analogy about how when 
song leaders in churches try to throw in a new song all the old farts gets 
upset about how it's ruining everything.) I mean plain and simple, if you 
don't like it b/c you think it's overkill, well nobody is holding a gun to 
your head and saying you have to run it. But I want it for myself, and if 
anyone else does it'll be there for them to download and I'll even throw in 
the source if someone wants to take my idea and make it "underkill" (:

Btw, 2d through ortho mode in opengl is metric shit tons faster than 2d in 
Directx, which is pretty much what you're limited to for windows fullscreen 
apps these days unless you want to go through some shitty slow interface like 
gdi.
