Best way I can think of you could achieve an opengl bg atm is to use a compositing manager, create the opengl bg in a separate window, layer it below e's bg and make e's bg transparent. If you get the proposed animation working I would look into the other parts :) BR > thx, > > Jason. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint > What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone? > Visit sprint.com/first -- http://p.sf.net/sfu/sprint-com-first > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-users mailing list > enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
