Summary0021384: HW acceleration option takes no effect (regression?)
Description1) Go to Options > Performance and disable HW acceleration
2) Restart MediaMonkey
3) Go to '3D Album view' and scroll the albums
=> GPU is still used in Task manager (unexpected)

Expected: There should be 0% in the GPU row (like in case of 5.0.4 version)
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build3100

The old switches like
--disable-gpu or --use-gl=swiftshader
causes that MM won't start at all..

And the new switches like
--gl=egl-angle
--angle=swiftshader
--disable-gpu-compositing
does not take any effect

Checking now Chrome with and without HW acceleration settings and the only difference is the param
--disable-gpu-compositing

Nevertheless even with this param the GPU is still used in task manager (unlike in case of --disable-gpu in the past),

And here is the explanation why --disable-gpu-compositing does not completely disable GPU:

So in build 3100 used the same param as Chrome (when 'Use graphics acceleration when available' is OFF)
i.e.
--disable-gpu-compositing
