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 />
<center>
<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.
