alt Hacker NewsSo you're arguing that the definition of an IM UI library necessarily includes running at full screen refresh rate the entire time?
Then how is it that many people, myself included, are able to hack fix this to only update when required? Why does the imgui dev himself promise official support for this?
Retained mode (for desktop apps) was/is primarily about creating an object heirachy that allows you to minimize full redraws and the like --- you'd assume, for something immediate mode, that you're basically asking to push frames directly without any barriers
