I'm expressing my opinion about a topic that was under discussion. When i was sure that something was good and it wouldn't be wasted time for me to code them (as was the case with other opensource project to which i contributed at the past), i wrote and submitted a few patches to Lazarus. However in this case not everyone seems to think the same about overriding the theme, so i said my opinion. Writing a patch that does what i'm talking about and having it rejected because i haven't stated why i think this is a good idea (this applies to most things, not just this particular issue) is not something i like to do. Discussing is a good thing. >> Of course i think the best solution for all these problems would be a >> crossplatform toolkit that sits below LCL and has a constant behavior no >> matter what the system is. fpGUI seems to be such a kit, but setting >> Lazarus >> to compile with this toolkit is failing due to some missing unit. > > Then why don't you send a patch that fixes the compilation? Supposing > you have actually read the instructions on the wiki and you have set > it up correctly. I didn't tried that much, that was only a small comment not a complaint about fpGUI. I was just curious to see if it works, the only thing i did was to make a form with a button, set the target interface to fpGUI and try to compile it. What i wrote above could end with "...so i haven't really checked it out to be sure that it really is".
