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".
