May be faster than clearlooks-cairo but it's noticably slower than the
others, because it's cairo. It doesn't look good and complete, because
it's a mix/mash of flat and gradient. I like where it is going, if it
continues to go in the direction of the new buttons and the rest of
widgets follow, but right now it is too new, too imature, and going to
go through a lot of changes before it is complete, provided the author
continues to work on it. It will be a nice gtk engine addition someday,
if the project moves forward. It's not even a 'looks' anymore. I wish he
released the square clearlooks-cairo hack as Rezlooks and made this
independent from 'name_looks' since it has no resemblance.
