Hello list, I am writing a chessboard interface (http://gcboard.sourceforge.net). Currently I am converting it to gtk2. I was thinking to use pixbufs for rendering the pieces and other graphics. This way they can have alpha-channels, and the image will blend nicely, or can have transparent parts. I am wondering if pixbufs are efficient for use in animations, (such as dragging the pieces, or animated moving), because they aren't stored on the server, and maybe cause a lot of round-trips with the server. Thanks, Kristof _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
