Well, I did some quick tests and must say, I am not satisfied. 1. comboboxes in OI only show one item. This happens with gtk1, too, but there I can collapse/expand the combo agagin, then I have the full list. With gtk2, this didn't work, though at some point, the comboboxes started working .. must be some kind of magic self healing :)
this works perfectly for me.
2. z-ordering of components is not as I would expect
what do you mean with this one?
3. source code looks ugly because most tokens have their last letter cut off.
mine looks pretty, see attached screenshot (maybe it's just my font?).
4. It's dog slow. Simply moving around a button in form designer with the mouse is almost impossible. If you stop moving the mouse, it takes up to several seconds, before the button is drawn at the new position. The top/left property (OI) of the button change immediately while moveing. When releasing the mouse button and moving the mouse afterwards before the button is redrawn, it is moved to where the mouse pointer is at the moment of redrawing, which might well be outside the form/parent (top/left negative or > clientsize).
mine is fast (and my computer is not high tech). but i've just realised that i can't move the combobox around on the form designer by dragging with the mouse. this used to work :(
That makes lazarus SAD instead of RAD :) Gtk2 interface has improved a lot, but IMHO it's still not really usable ..
my biggest problem is what we're seeing here, i think. the gtk2 interface is still really sensitive to changing window managers and themes. it crashes badly on icewm for me, but metacity works a treat. i think the compiled programs are mostly o.k. (although i did have crashes with messagedlg on certain themes). another pain is the form designer, which doesn't let you select tabs properly and (from today for me) won't let me move my combobox around. i can set the properties in the o.i., though. just for the record, which distro and window manager are you using?
So for now, I am switching back to gtk1. regards Burkhard
