Hi Albert,
Yes you're right of course that the visualisations are done at the OS level.
Still, it would be nice to have some of these widgets available within
an application.
I know that OpenGL is available within Lazarus because the demo
directory includes some code. So it's probably only a matter of time.
Regards
David

This (AIGLX) is to prefer over XGL, because it doesn't add a complete

But all this isn't related to the software you run within. You only
change the way how your X-server draws your application windows.
AIGLX/XGL provides the necessary possibilities and the windowmanagers
Compiz or Beryl (or others) uses them by making these effects. The
applications themself don't recognize about how they are drawn on the
screen.
If you want to extend Beryl or Compiz, I don't know, if this is
possible yet with Free Pascal. Take a look at the source code. I
think, they have a modular design, so perhaps it's possible to code
some moduls with Lazarus.

Just wondering if anybody has installed this?

Here's what it can look like when it is running:

I'm interested if any of the components are available in Lazarus yet..
because if they aren't I think that it would be worthwhile doing
something about it.
I really want to dump my winbloat for this..
