AW: OpenGL in renderer please! and bugs....... Re: [Bf-funboard] Render Buttons proposal

[Paul Lunneberg]

Since it would most likely use the display parameters from your current 3D view
that you could just enable openGL as your render type and then press Z or
whatever and change your OGL view settings in your 3D view and it then uses the
last set OGL settings.  Easier... and less interface stuff to deal with.  That
way you could do wire, shaded, textured or whatever you have your 3D viewports
configured to.
