As Matthew say, we can to go use the modern GTK+ API,
for GtkApplication, GSettings and more, and I offer to go
also to the GtkHeaderBar, it realy good thing.
Yes, we shouldn't avoid embracing/using our GUI toolkit to its fullest
just because people dislike the most famous desktop environment that
uses it. If we're never going to fully embrace it to avoid "gnoming
things up", then we should switch to a different toolkit that everyone
feels comfortable with and fully embrace that. The toolkit we use
shouldn't be a political/emotional issue but rather technical.
Embracing the toolkit (GTK) and adopting GNOME application style are two
different things. Yes, we can make more use of GTK. But we do not have
to "GNOME it up" for it. And whether or not we use a toolkit to its
fullest is no indication at all that we switch to another one.
I mean to use the classes and features of the toolkit
(GLib/GObject/GTK+), not "GNOME it up" or whatever that means. For
example instead of writing a bunch of long functions embedded in another
module to customize a widget, to instead make a subclass widget and put
the code related to the widget in the widget's class code instead of
mixed all about. Or another example, making use of GApplication which
provides the functionality we have a whole complicated socket.c module
for (uniqueness/instance), or GtkApplicationWindow which works with
GtkApplication to support multiple windows easily and sharing actions
and such between them.
I don't even use GNOME and I have no idea really what GNOME-style apps
are like, so I'm kind of confused why people think I want to "GNOME up"
Geany. I just want to use the features of our cross-platform toolkit to
their fullest instead of doing stuff the hard way, just to avoid
"GNOMEing up" our code, and I definitively would rather not want to
switch toolkits.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
