My favorite new widget is GtkFlowBox. It can be used for the wallpaper plug or for displaying albums in Noise for example. It supports multiple selection and rubber band, so, is a good replacement for GtkIconView. The only problem with FlowBox is that it doesn't uses a model, and that causes some performance problems if you have a lot of widgets inside it, because all the widgets need to be instantiated at the same time. FlowBox is available in gtk 3.11.x, but you need valac 0.23 git, so take a look.
I think that you are right with the popovers thing, but not sure. 2014-02-19 15:32 GMT-03:00 Daniel Foré <[email protected]>: > I dunno about you guys, but lately I've been reading the git log for Gtk > just because so much cool stuff keeps landing.
