Being built on XRender suggests that it lacks hardware acceleration by design. This is very confusing when toolkits such as Qt and GTK have been migrating to hardware-accelerated UIs for a long, long time. It's obvious, though, that this toolkit isn't targeting the Linux world. My guess is that Linux support was just bolted on with the easiest possible way to be able to boast being truly multi-platform.Last edited by curfew; 19 July 2021, 04:59 AM.
