X render and theme engines

[Andrew Shafer <shafer realmsys com>]

Greetings,

Is there any good documentation on GTK theme engines?

I want a 'pixbuff like' theme engine that will push the majority (all?)
of the work to the X server.

Has any work been done in this area?

Any guidance, comments or questions are welcome.

Regards,
