Hi, GTK+-DirectFB implements a GDK backend for GTK+-2.0.0 based on DirectFB, a graphics hardware abstraction layer for the Linux framebuffer. As DirectFB provides drawing functions, a windowing stack and manages input devices, this is a lightweight GDK port. Due to the use of DirectFB, graphic operations are hardware accelerated if a suitable DirectFB gfx driver is available. Since DirectFB is a very thin libary, GTK+-DirectFB has a small memory footprint which makes it the perfect choice for embedded devices.
GTK+-DirectFB also adds some extra functionality like alpha transparent window surfaces and a per-window opacity setting. At the moment not all GTK+-2.0 features are fully implemented, but the port is in relatively good shape and should be useable for a wide range of applications. Based on the GTK+-2.0.0 release, we have created a tarball for you that has the DirectFB patches already applied. Check the GTK+-DirectFB page at http://www.directfb.org/gtk.html for more information.
