Description John McCutchan 2006-02-23 21:09:44 UTC 
By allowing themes to draw on a passed in cairo context, mozilla can render native widgets must faster.

See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2006-February/006402.html for discussion.
Comment 1 Thomas Wood 2008-02-14 21:32:49 UTC 
I don't think this is possible without breaking the current theme API, so this would probably have to wait until a new major release of GTK+.
Comment 2 John McCutchan 2008-02-14 21:54:11 UTC 
Or, introduce a new theme API that doesn't suck and deprecate the old one. Even better, have new widgets not support the old theme API and draw nothing at all.
Comment 3 Sven Herzberg 2008-03-10 11:02:50 UTC 
I'm going to look into providing the current theming features for a cairo context during GTK+ Hackweek.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2010-12-22 20:56:35 UTC 
GtkStyleContext addresses this.
