Thanks Romain, FYI the app in question relies heavily upon the gestures API that you developed. Nice work! I'd be willing to help out with documentation if help is needed in that area - it is a bit lacking at the moment, especially with regard to multiple-stroke gesture recognition.
The workaround that I've implemented on this is to simply use the wallpaper-only theme as opposed to fully translucent. Achieves a similar enough effect, and for some reason does not slow it down as much.
