Hey all, I've read a lot lately about the future of gtk+/gnome. Things look very promising. There is one thing I don't understand though. Cairo is able to render scalable widgets using vector graphics. Glitz is a backend that provides openGL acceleration for Cairo. So if I'm not mistaken, an OpenGL accelerated window is drawn this way: gtk -> cairo -> glitz. But where does the window manager do it's work? A new windowmanager, luminocity, is in development. It provides OpenGL acceleration too. But using a Xgl backend, afaik. But then what's the connection between glitz and luminocity? Does glitz draw to the screen? Or does it only create textures that are used by luminocity. And if so, then why do both glitz and luminocity have opengl acceleration? Or is glitz just a temporary solution.. I'd be glad if someone could clear things up :D _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
