not exactly. In DirectFB each window has its own surface thus no
window draws directly to the framebuffer. The window surfaces are then
composited onto the display layer's back buffer which is copied to the
front buffer when the window stack has been repainted. The only point
where the translucency of a window is considered is during window
stack repaints where this information is used to optimize unnecessary
compositing away. I'm however not sure what Keith means exactly when
he uses the word "overlay layer". It's most probably unrelated to the
DisplayLayer used in DirectFB.


Salut, Sven
