[UI] Just a thought...

[Gary Chambers]

Backwards compatability is always an issue, especially here. Wondering if we
can really move things onwards now...

    Just wanting to get more contemporary with the ui look without large
    performance penalties.

    Not quite liking the way that effects are hidden behind canvas (leading
to a
    bloated interface, perhaps (c.f. #drawImage...
#drawTranslucentImage...)).
    Not sure where the balance should be. Looks like a choke-point that is
too
    useful to bypass on a case-by-case basis.



  If you were to implement some more interesting effects in BitBLT, how
would you make sure that Morphs that use this code will still work on other
targets such as Rome, Postscript Canvases, VNC etc?
