No. Limitations -- yes: even though the code is written in C and we can get pretty wild, it's still not a good thing to draw outside of widget's allocated space (thus to draw shadows, we need to make the actual drawing of the widget a bit smaller,...), the more complex you design the widget, the slower it will draw, think about usability -- does it stand out enough, does it fit well with the rest of the theme, ...? Also, we are not supposed to know the progress of progressbars we are drawing, so advanced effects on their fill are out of question, ... I'm not aware of templates either, I just use things like masks, rounded rectangles, circles and gradients (all of these are easily replicated with Cairo in the drawing code when implementing it). I attach an SVG with the widgets I originally designed for the code you just built, to have some reference/example, plus you can get more SVG examples on the bottom of the 0.8.x brainstorm page (these are mostly obsoleted older designs, but for reference good enough): https://fedorahosted.org/nodoka/wiki/0.8.x_Brainstorm Martin
