The idea of stretched images crossed my mind, but I hadn't followed this approach. It might become more interesting if I run into further performance issues, although device / resolution independence will be a challenge (at least for me). > If you don't want to use OpenGL directly, Quartz 2D and / or CoreAnimation > will drill down to OpenGL based drawing rather sooner than later. Glad to read that :-) As I mentioned performance is currently sufficient (although this might change sometimes) and using the current gradient approach I'm very satisfied with the visual effect. I could improve the speed by 40% if I'll drop the dark outline of every object, but it just looks too good...
