Of course, it looks amazing. Especially for the Control Sequence polygons in Non-DAW and the Ambisonics panners in Non-Mixer, as they're quite curvy. It is indeed slightly slower (but I expected that because it's still going through FLTK's double buffer). Cool. Screenshots at all?

However, when I dig into the FLTK code to look for a place to install this permanently, I find a bizarre mess of #if defined(USE_X11) type junk. What I'd just like to mention I've also been discouraged by the ifdef thicket in the OS specific files. But Manolo was always so fast at fixing any
