I'm currently using a css filter in a node-webkit (v0.11.2) application on Windows 7 (64 bit) like so:
html {
-webkit-filter: invert();
}
This works fine for the most part, but when the user maximizes the window and then attempts to drag the window, there is a huge performance lag. The lag goes away completely without the filter.
I don't see the same performance issues in the browser, so this appears to be a node-webkit issue.
