Yes, I've looked at it, but it appears to have its own
API. I have a number of apps, including a big database
IDE app, already written in pTk, and just want to tweak
the look/feel a bit based on beta user feedback. Ie,
just add a few -options here and there, maybe change Button()
to StyledButton(), and be done with it. My sense is I'd
need a major overhaul of the View components to adapt
things to Zinc, at which point I'd probably get serious
about switching GUI toolkits entirely (probably to an AJAX
solution).

Besides, goofing around w/ gradients is fun! And now that I
know the algorithms, I can apply them elsewhere, e.g.,
in DBIx::Chart's rendering engine.
