Some of your own or something more general? One of my own. Basically something to do away with an ugly TCL/Tk script that is used to control eccet. The idea is to have something that can nicely live side by side with other stuff on a GGI visual. Existing libs made that cumbersome to integrate, as I want several LibGGI native windows that will display rendered 3D-stuff in realtime and accept mouse and key commands _plus_ one or more control windows - that may be as slow as they want - to give a GUI for stuff that is not easily controlled with keyboard and mouse. The reason for eccet itself not using a widget library is speed. I want highspeed access to the graphics frontend (X). LibGGI provides that nicely for me. And I don't want to bother with some intermediate layer for a widget lib like GTK. I have sped up a simple application (planeview) by around one order of magnitude by just porting it over from GTK. And to my knowledge the original implementor had already played tricks to make it fast on GTK. I can send you the code if you like. It has some special widgets I happen to like (e.g. dials like used in xv). > what about Berlin/Fresco? I have to admit, I havent looked at it lately ...
