I haven't tried gtk-engines 2.7.x for a while, but after switching to cairo enabled clearlooks, clearing a minefield in gnome-games' minesweeper can be followed with my eyes at a resolution of 1280x1024x24 with a Matrox G400 or G550 on an Athlon XP 2600+. This looks like a big slowdown to me. Though Matrox cards aren't super cards when it comes to acceleration, they used to be the best cards around for desktop work. I'm talking about a simple game with tons of widgets in a matrix (I play mines at expert mode only), which is quite slow with cairo. Having a few buttons and some scrollbars isn't really noticable I guess. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
