Hey Oli,
I think "single-buffer" is on its way out, so I would not invest a lot of time in it (already gone on OSX). If I understand you right what your looking for is a clearmode with the ability to alter the opacity of the clear? I have suggested this on gem-dev so if you also want it feel free to chime in.
"clear 1" would be "normal" clean with 100% opacity, and clear 0.01 would be 1% opacity to make a slow "fading" clear, that is once you turn off the gemheads so only the old buffer remains... well the interface would be something like that, I think the alpha value is part of the "color" selector anyhow...

Hi list!
I've been recently playing around with the single buffer mode of GEM and was unsucessful to fade to black the buffer window after it rendered some geos.
I thought I could simply stop banging on the geos I was drawing and start banging on a square with very low opacity right in front of the camera view... but it didn't really work.
I also tried to play with the opacity of a pix_buff applied on a geo to give the illusion the whole render was fading out. here again unsucessfully.
Is there any other way to create this simple fade to black effect? (Note: I've been using the stable 0.90 version of GEM on Ubuntu.)
Thanks!
Oli
