I have posted a screenshot of GNUstep apps running alongside GNOME applications....
I did this, because a picture is worth a thousand words as to the state of GNUstep's.... interoperability with other desktop environments.... http://64.74.186.169/gnustep_vs_gnome.png I did this with GNUstep out of the box, no customisations, and put GWorkspace alongside the GNOME Nautilus file manager...why? because the file manager is what we use day in and day out to launch programs, launch documents, accomplish things... it is worth noting that YES, a colour change would go part of the way to avoid the clash, but it doesn't solve some of the more glaring issues... particularly (1) the BIG APPICON THAT DOESN'T FIT ANYWHERE (2) the BIG vertical menu that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the horizontal menu bars (3) the fact that the widgets look much less refined and sleek than their gnome counterparts (before you say anything, I will make the point that ClearLooks is _NOW_ The default packaged look with GNOME 2.12.) We need to look at this picture and take pause because it gives us what we need to do to play nicer... i do notice the XDG patch, and it seems to work pretty well, the icons show up in the task bar :-) Thoughts? discussions? -Thom _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
