There are some basic things missing in the gtk builder framework that I would say are blocking this kind of deprecation, not representative of very much work though (from memory I would say atk properties are a must, which could be implemented as a custom element directly by the GtkWidgetClass). > Not even GUIBuilder like gazpacho/Glade seems to support it right now? this is the tracker on the status of Glade supporting GtkBuilder files: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490678 Since the GtkBuilder format goes beyond saving everything as properties and signals (allowing some widgets to save things as custom xml constructs), the parser framework needs to be reworked a little bit, after that is done then implementing the actual widgets will be a much easier job. Cheers, -Tristan Note: I was planning to do this Glade rework in this release cycle, since then I left my job and moved to the other side of the world, a potential employer of mine is volunteering to send me a laptop to work from at which point I might be able to spend time actually hacking and compiling code - but I implore all users of gtk+ and glade not to wait for this, gtk+ maintainers are available for patch review and so am I and I dare say so is Johan Dahlin (author of the builder); we are here to make it happen as a community effort. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
