gtk+-widgets blended with OpenGL-context

In this screencast you see truly visually seamless blending of gtk+-widgets on top of a OpenGL-context. The whole UI is "one piece" and you don't see any "gaps" between the gtk+-widgets and the objects drawn with OpenGL. Actually everything is drawn via OpenGL, even the gtk+-widgets. They are texture-mapped onto quads. For obtaining the textures of the widgets the OpenGL-extension GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is used. You see that this approach fully respects resizing, theme-changes and mouse- and keyboard input. For more info visit http://macslow.thepimp.net

Why on earth does YouTube not allow me to post a reply here?

wtf why haven't we got apps built like this yet, this could really compete with the OS X experience...

[catskul]

What libraries/patches/extensions are you using to do this. This isn't stock gtk+ is it? Do you have a link to your work ?

[cyborgtroy]

@icecoldboi - Probably Ubuntu Linux if the tags and window decorations are to be believed, but GTK+ has Windows and OS X ports.

Pretty cool! What operating system ru runnin it under!

@Devourer09 - Yeah, people change a lot in 2 years, it's lucky nobody's found my old comments yet.

[Devourer09]

@cyborgtroy Lol. I don't remember what I was thinking when I wrote that comment. But now that I look at it it's a stupid comment.

@Devourer09 - What else would you use? Software rendering?
