And *that* is the best news of the lot!
So many projects have little or no documentation until they are a
very long way
into development.


Yea, I've made the experience that I never ever do any documentation
"afterwards". So this time I would do it from the beginning on. At least
it helps as well myself, to not forgot what it is about.

However, today I make a big step regarding transparent widgets. Those
who've done any development with X11 and cairo knows that it could be
tricky.

Today I find out that the big difference is to NOT USE
cairo_image_surface_create. Avoid it. When working in a X11 context, the
way to go is cairo_surface_create_similar on the xlib surface as buffer.
This avoid unnecessary coping the image data from the graphic server to
CPU and back. The CPU footprint boils down to below 2% on full screen
action here. Even on resize action, when the surfaces needs to be
resized/destroyed and new created.

Before this change CPU could reach 80% and more and the desktop starts
to stutter.


. . . and now the first widgets been implemented, like buttons, sliders,
and a knob. Also a theming engine is in place. A example for how to use
it is in the examples folder.
