So, I've had some spare time at work today, and thought I might as well tackle an idea that has been floating around OH towers since before Guadec, which was to use the Gtk offscreen rendering patch to embed Gtk widgets within the Clutter stage.
Now, I only go this working today, and it's pretty hacky, but heres where I am so far:
Clutter + Gtk offscreen rendering patch from Neil Patel on Vimeo (if you can't see the video, click through).
Thats a GtkWindow which has been told to also draw to a GdkDrawable, which is then being pushed into a ClutterTexture (did I mention it was hacky?).
However, thanks to Emmanuele (and by proxy Alex), I have an idea of where to go with this, so hopefully we'll able to have some sort of canvas based on Clutter, where you can manipulate real widgets.
Anyway, that's it for Bling Tuesday, some more updates coming soon :-).
Update: The video doesn't seem to work with some flash players, so here is a link to the original ogg. That's what I get for trying out a new video service

Flickr + Clutter = Fluttr
Hey, I did say your gonna get sick of me :-).
So, what this post about? Well, a little while ago, Matthew and I were talking about what could we do with Clutter which would be quite different and cool, and he had the idea of something involving the internet. So with a little help from our resident flickr master, I embarked on a mission to bring Clutter and Flickr together, in a great union of animations and pixels.
Fluttr
Fluttr is a Clutter based Flickr photo viewer. Once you have authorized with Flickr, you can browse and view your photo sets, together with viewing your photos individually.
A video makes much more sense than I ever could, so:
As you can see, it has cool things like the sets will show the photos within them, photos are downloaded as necessary (and cached locally). It also has a fullscreen option, so it works quite nicely when you want to show off your pictures on your laptop/TV.
You can grab Fluttr from svn by running:
svn co http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/clutter/trunk/toys/fluttr fluttr
Be sure to read the README, as it contains valuable info on how to authorise with Flickr. There are some things that still need to be added, but it works really well, and I hope you guys like it!
