Hi!
If i use glTexImage2D when the window is iconified, no texture data is set. The texture stays black, although OpenGL does not set an error code.
If i create my own opengl context and do not use GLFW, it works perfect. Tried SDL also - no problem there.
So there is something GLFW seems to make wrong. Can someone figure out?
Regards,
Joe

No problems at me with iconified windows and texture loading. Of course there can be a bug, which doesn’t appear on my computer.
Do you load the textures after glfwInit() and glfwOpenWindow() ? Did you glEnable(GL\_TEXTURE\_2D) ?
