I think I just found another dimention
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

Where'd You Go...
...not that far actually, just been very busy at home!
I have, however, had time to straighten up some cool tracker stuff!
Nautilus Metadata Tile
After speaking to Alex in #nautilus, it seems that we could really make something very cool, utilizing nautilus & tracker/beagle. He has given me direction regarding what would be accepted into Nautilus. He had some sweet ideas regarding file previews etc. As far as I know, no other OS has these capabilities. I am going to dedicate a whole entry to it later on in the week, with mockups etc.
Tracker Search Tool (TST)
I have been adding the code from Nautilus Metadata Tile into TST recently, trying to get it in before the 0.6 release of tracker (at the time of writing I still don't know whether it will make it) :(. However, to whet your appetite, I can show you some early screenshots :
As you can see, it works quite well :). The tags bit is my favourite, because it is really simple to add/remove tags:
Avant Window Navigator
I have been a bit short of time regarding Awn, but I am dedicating tomorrow to it, so expect some cool stuff (as per usual), and thanks to everyone who has been bug reporting, sending translations and sending patches! Translations and patches will be merged tomorrow. Also, I have a little ace up my sleeve...only thing I can say is that it concerns setting up an array of pixbufs at incremental sizes for the launchers & tasks ;).

- Clicking the "add" button shows you a GtkEntry, where you type in tags separated by spaces, then click "apply" to apply or "cancel" to, er, cancel.
- The tags themselves are clickable, so they will launch a new TST, and set it to search for the tag.
- Right clicking the tag gives you a popup, letting you search for the tag, or delete it.

PimpZilla, the theme with bling
PimpZilla is probably the most tacky & overdone piece of GUI design out there, aimed solely for true connaisseurs. It's inspired on the cadillac love rides, as seen in old blaxploitation movies. PimpZilla represents the luxurious, furcoated dashboards of
