Grey indicates that the plugin requires support for a deprecated model (light grey if deprecated models are only required prior to 10.6). Red indicates that the model is not correctly implemented. "[I]" after "Core Animation" indicates that it supports the invalidating Core Animation drawing model. When multiple modes are listed, they are in plugin preference order.
