Research direction

Start by reading issue #89 and tracing the screenshot refresh path in the boomer application. Identify where the VBO is updated in response to a refresh and how window-size changes affect that path; done means a screenshot refresh no longer updates the VBO unnecessarily while size-dependent behavior remains correct.

Description

-d:live

introduced in #89

I'm pretty sure we can avoid that if we make independent from
the size of the window as it was in the beginning. (I simply did
not expect this use case back then Kappa)
