<a href='http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/sasha/archive/2009/02/16/ windows-7-taskbar-overlay-icons-and-progress-bars.aspx'>This</a> is the general idea of what I'm talking about - the green overlay that signifies the progress of something in the background.

I suppose then the question is if skia uses hardware acceleration in the presence of a GPU (or if that'd just blow the whole point of a compact library) -- a search of <a href='http:// code.google.com/p/skia/w/list?can=1&q=gpu&colspec=PageName+Summary +Changed+ChangedBy'>the wiki</a> and issues list didn't turn up any hits for "GPU" or "hardware".
