[Elementary-dev-community] (the indicators situation) XFCE next release approaching, they hope to port to gtk3 afterwards
One interesting thing I read in this XFCE announcement [0] was that xfce's panel has added support for gtk3 plugins. Although I have not looked much into it, afaics the architecture of xfce's panel is similar to the indicators-as-libsoup-plugins idea that I heard floating around a few months ago on this ML. In any case, I thought it was worth bringing up, since maintaining indicators alone would not be a good idea, and the current indicators, from what I hear, are not sustainable.

Thanks for the info! I wonder if indicators themselves were ported to GTK3 though. Another suggestion I've heard recently is looking into MATE indicators. But this is all Freya+1 stuff so I'll investigate it only after Freya is released. If anyone's interested in the situation with indicators, I've detailed it here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1439765#p1439765 -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
