If you're looking for something lower-level, perhaps

http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby%2FGtkGLExt
http://cairographics.org/rcairo/
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/opengl/
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/cat.rhtml?category_major=Library;category_minor=X11

IIRC, you can also access the native windows API with the win32
libraries. However, I don't know of anyone using these libraries. Most
people prefer abstract GUI toolkits, such as

ruby-gnome2
WxRuby
QtRuby
FXRuby
Tk

WxRuby has an "Advanced User Interface" set of widgets if you're just
looking for something looking a little "shinier".
