As the top of the page says, we need to finalize the list of things
TODO.
hi guys,
i'm not the dev so beg your pardon if things below are out of scope.
1) after the review of a mentioned page
(http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Release)
i decide to fill 'trac' with some more 'tickets'/(requests) instead of
the page modification. assume that it's your (and not mine) decision to
set a milestone to the Release.
2) there're no 'magic' word we're all aware about (no doubt that it ...
you know...). here it is (in capital letters):
== SYSTRAY ==
suppose that clear definition of our POV to this case is required. it's
o'k not to make one and explain why. but Release of a Desktop Shell
without a tray will attract less Users i guess. yes, Wiki FAQ advise to
use 'trayer', 'stalonetray', etc., but references to the various
discussions are unable to state the case clear.
There was a systray mention on there a while ago... maybe it was a
different TODO list. Added in modules-extra for now.
3) annoying question related to the color and font config modules. as
it was mentioned by Raster:
thats what i meant - just wouldn't compile the color and font config modules.
they they wont appear anywhere. code will be there - just not being compiled
or
used until its fixed.
ok. but does it mean that all themes/(.edj files) which use custom fonts
and/or color_class:-es will require maintenance? if Yes!, then
suppose that the info should be spread all over the community or only new
default theme will remain usable (it's a nice option, but some may
prefer other variants).
I think scraping the modules to config it would be good, but leave the
support for it via enlightenment_remote would be good as well. If
anyone was keen, they could revamp it and reintroduce into a major
release eg, E17.1. That way, we dont need to alter themes, and if you
really want, just include a brief howto in the theme about. Kind of
like what i did with Cerium.
4) another chewing gum - Should add lua support? (optional) Just
make a decision and say it. No/Yes - doesn't matter much (though the
amount of maintenance if Yes will be sufficient). it's a pity that
both VM's ('embryo' and 'lua') can't exist together.
More of a pending decision. Someone was working on an alternate
environment with LUA working. Results of that work are yet to be
debated and trialed I guess? My personal
5) last couple of days i'm using 'Ecomorph' and it's much more stable
then bling module. suppose that bling should be improved (in terms
of stability) or explicitly marked as 'unstable'. yes, FAQ tells that
E17 doesn't work with composite, but it's an easy task for bling now
to create a nice segfault of E17 :).
offtop http://en.opensuse.org/Ecomorph
Only thing stopping ecomorph from being an official module is that it
needs drastic changes to the main tree, IIRC. Someone feel free to
correct me on that as I havent looked into it.
6) as i mentioned in trac ticket #201 the gap exist in a window
management between E16/eesh and E17/enlightenment_remote. it could be
nice to eliminate this mismatch especially for the experienced Users
of E16.
Like buying a new TV, you need to learn the new remote. :)
7) the bridge between qt - edje gtk - edje still under
heavy discussion suggest to create a couple of themes like existing
Clearlooks (it's really nice) to match the major ones used by others.
dunno about qt (don't use it here) but it's an easy task to copy a
couple of most popular gtk+ ones.
With the development of QEdje, a cross to QT/KDE with an E theme might
be possible with a bit more persistence. But again, I havent even
looked at QEdje and friends since they were released a while back. But
in all honesty, we shouldnt worry too much about that. What we SHOULD
worry about, is the cross themeing of E with EWL and ETK. It is all
very possible, but as a themer yourself, its quite tedious to add the
other parts and duplicate and so on. We could of course, investigate
making the toolkits (Or toolkit) work with edje parts from an E theme.
thanks for your kind attention.
regards,
sda
NP.
