Thus, the challenge is to find a way that allows us to develop new GUIs in the spirit of Fresco, as well as wrap well established GUIs, and have both be accessible through the same API.
A low-level platform-independent API is a primary requirement. Whether it is possible to move beyond the wxWidgets and GTK API's is another matter. I guess you'd agree that it would be difficult to realise anything like Fresco in a platform independent way? For instance I believe that a top level glyph in Fresco can have an arbitrary shape, whereas in Windows you are limited to a "Region" made of rectangles and ellipses. IOW in Fresco you have the luxury of owning the screen. BTW "Glyph" might be a good name for the project! regards Andy Little
