Settings a GL viewport for a QDeclarativeView is the way to in QML to be able to render in 'NativePainting' (OpenGl) mode. The only out-of-the box part of QML doing this is the 'ShaderEffectItem' as far as I know and it's part of some labs stuff of both Qt 4.8 and 5.0. It's should be a good start point for us if we want to go there. It won't be a problem . > I think this is generally a good architecture move because it'll make > our UI significantly more portable.

I think mixxx is at point where graphical performance matter. I guess as soon as the 1.11 is accepted I can start messing around with that. I have an other proposal (involving ControlObject management) that I want to discuss with you guys. Problem is it take me so long to write a "pseudo decent" e-mail in English that I don't even know how I will be able to explain my point. But it'll will have an important relationship with global UI rending/UI inputs/Qt events performance.
