Perhaps this is a naive suggestion, but since Colibricks seems to use
very simple
rectangular geometry, you could use an AA trick that I have used
successfully in my iTunes
Visualizer "JewelCase" (and was also used in the original CoverFlow,
and i believe is now
used in CoreAnimation)... Namely, draw Anti-Aliased lines around the
rectangular geometry.
This will give you very nice AA edges, is supported on all Mac
platforms including very old machines,
and is very inexpensive performance-wise. If you want to see it in
action, download JewelCase
and turn the AA on and off to see the difference. It can take some
subtle work with the Z-buffer
to get a really nice look. (Note* Intel Integrated graphics on Intel
MacMini doesn't look super good,
but this is the only major exception). All in all, I think you will
get better rendering quality and
performance using this simple technique.
