"gpu-accelerated cross platform" is not that hard as it sounds.

Here is an example of GPU rendering with support of Acrylic(Windows) / Vibrancy (MacOS) so popular in terminal implementations: https://sciter.com/sciter-4-2-support-of-acrylic-theming/

Your link is about html themes? What does it have to do with cross platform, GPU accelerated drawing?

Sciter is an HTML rendering engine. It has to do its drawing somehow, and apparently it uses GPU acceleration across platforms.
