Hello everyone, at last, the hackfest is done, and that doesn't mean that we don't have a whole lot of work ahead of us. But at least we have a team of people trying to push an idea forward.
This is a rough summary of the agreements/plans we did during the hackfest: * Get rid of style properties and replace them with global padding (on GtkBin) * Get rid of GtkRCStyle and GtkStyle (Cody to work on a smooth migration path) * An extensible GtkStyle replecament that allows to get rid of the detail string (Carlos Garnacho's GtkStyleContext). * All drawing funcitions to use a cario context and hide GtkWidget and GdkWindow (Strong request from 3rd party toolkits) * Use a CSS syntax for theme files (work with Jens to find a way to make Qt and Gtk+ files somewhat compatible in the future if possible) * Use CSS matching rules to apply to the scene graph (hierarchy, siblings...) * Deprecate (polygon, diamond, tab, shadow primitives). * New GtkStateType (bit field that allows multiple states at the same time). * Have a comprehensive list of the widget parts (pseudo elements) available in the toolkit. (Right now implicit in hierarchy+detail string). * Try to keep the primitives as small as possible (draw_part + special cases like draw_text_layout...) * Themed animation support (garnacho's timeline+stylecontext) * Hit detection (allow engines to push the last shape drawn to the style context, use of the transformation matrix to support layout animations to detect hits). * Basic CSS support in the default engine, full CSS support in a full featured CSS engine (Robert Staudinger work on libcroco/libccss). * ARGB by default * Port the 2.x default engine to use cairo natively. Yes, loads of crazy stuff, but we think we can do it, we would appreciate any feedback. Some branches where people are trying out stuff: * git://github.com/aruiz/gtk-roles-and-siblings.git (hit detection support based on garnacho's style-context, checkout the style-context branch) * git://github.com/garnacho/gtk-roles-and-siblings.git (garnacho's style-context and animation support, checkout the style-context branch) * git://github.com/thos/gtk-cairo-engines.git (2.x default engine port to cairo) * http://bzr-playground.gnome.org/~robsta/libccss-selection-engine/ (improvements towards support needed features of CSS) -- Cheers, Alberto Ruiz _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
