I'm using fvwm. The borders are simulated 3d using very LITTLE effort. Having it done through opengl would probably increase the amount of complexity and whatnot considerably, I would guess. Sure, I could have smooth color gradients, fading, even animated borders... but I dont WANT them. That distracts me from what's actually going on in the window itself. I could care less about the borders. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
