Yesterday i tried again to make the directfb-engine work but i couldn't get wigdets borders to be rendered (i suppose something has to be modified inside surface_cache_value_new() ). Luckily, the standard pixbuf engine works well with GTKDFB and, since the g-i never need to theme window surfaces o borders, no slowdown in noticed when theming buttons and other widgets only. Is there any plan to update the directfb-engine and to make it work again with current GTKDFB / DFB libraries? ciao Attilio _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
