+title: 'Evas: OpenGL For Free!'
+---
+
+Well, CVS <a href="/projects/">EWL</a> has preliminary Evas support now.
+The software rendering alone is much faster, but Evas also gives EWL
+<A href="http://www.mesa3d.org/">OpenGL</a> support for free!  I don't
+really have the setup to be testing the GL acceleration, but the
+Evas test program is a _lot_ faster in GL mode.  For those of you 
+who want to try out the acceleration in EWL, just do the following:
+<br /><br />

+<font face="sans-serif" size="-0">
+ewldbtool ~/.ewl/preferences render/mode 3D_Hardware
+</font></center><br />
+As of tonight, the previous rendering system is still in EWL, but
+horribly broken -- the only thing that will display is the window
+background (which you can customize by editing background key in
+~/.ewl/themes/defaultTheme/EwlWindow.db).
+<br /><br />
+I'm pretty comfortable with <a href="http://www.mutt.org/">Mutt</a>
+now.  It's amazing how fast I switched.  I've made several tweaks
+to <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert's</a> default
+muttrc file -- sooner or later I'll post the file for all to see.
+<br /><br />
+That's about it for right now -- tomorrow I'm going to rip apart
+the theme engine in EWL and make it support Evas images.  It's a
+real pain in the ass to break this stuff, but Evas support will 
+make it all worthwhile in the end.
