Merge lp:~stellarium/stellarium/night-mode-shader into lp:stellarium

[Guillaume Chereau]

This branch uses a fragment shader to implement the night mode.

It makes most of the code much simpler because the modules and the GUI don't need to check for night mode anymore.

I tested it on my linux machine, but it would be good to check if there is no problem on windows or different machines before merging.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

I've tested it on linux and this feature worked good for me. I think simplification of some parts of Stellarium is good idea.

review: Approve

[gzotti (georg-zotti)]

Seems good. Win7/64, NVidia GTX580M, Qt5.1.1

I have not dealt with QML so far. What happens with plugin content rendered by other shaders? Will this be mixed/filtered with the QML?

Yes, normally the ShaderEffect forces Qt to render all the scene into
a buffer, and then apply the effect on this buffer, so this should be
OK.

I'm added configurable color of planet's pointer and now this patch possible has conflicts in SolarSystem.cpp file.

[barrykgerdes (barrygastro)]

Hi Alex

A few days ago I mentioned how washed out all the planets were in Windows
It is something to do with how the program handles the lighting = true/false in the ssystem.ini file
I have done a blanket change to the entry lighting = true to lighting = false as the default for this parameter.
This has fixed the problem.
