 The example project is poor, but that's what was originally supplied by 
 the original project. Creating a new and better test project that shows 
 all possibilities of the widgetset would be nice, but I don't have time 
 for it now. If anyone plays with the widgetset and want's to submit 
 his/her test project, I'm fine with that.

 I forgot to commit a fix for the textures. I will fix this later today. 
 Textures are nothing more than in memory bitmaps. In this case we 
 generate one at the beginning of app and paint it each cycle to screen. 
 The shaders are little programs that are executed on your graphics card, 
 this makes them ultra fast of course.
