I'm actually specifically avoiding widgets.  Applying FX to buttons
seems amusingly pointless :)

I think the code for view and widgets lives in two different
completely separate areas as well.

My first impression is that a vector graphics language and a low-level
hardware FX language would be wildly different.  My definition of
language is very loose as well.  I mean structured library calls and
abstract recursive data structures.  The furthest I'd go to encode
them in text would probably be XML or COLLADA.

I feel like I might have missed the point of your response, so feel
free to bash me over the head with a fish until I understand :-)
