As I've said before, +1 for Isis :) I can just hear the multitudes saying "WHAT??? BUT I THOUGHT THE NAMING SCHEME WAS BASED ON PLANTS AND SPACE AND STUFF!" It will be good to set the record straight ;) On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 4:37 PM, Allen Lowe wrote: > Isis sounds great to me! > > > On Fri

Big +1 from me. It's basically an abandoned project (and has been for months), and some core integration features are still missing, to say nothing of the fact that it's riddled with serious bugs. Avi On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 11:37 PM, Cassidy James wrote: > At first I was pretty against this..

Hi all, After some discussion in IRC yesterday (and previously) there was a consensus that we should use GtkEntry's placeholder-text property that exists in 3.0. Granite.Widgets.HintedEntry did basically what placeholder-text does, with the addition of italics, which Dan agreed aren't really helpf

I agree with Christian's comments -- we're writing in Vala, if anything, we should be strongly encouraging the existing styles. Also, have we considered the existing style documentation we drafted a while ago? (I think it might still be internal for whatever reason, so I'll post it here: Coding S

Hey Jaap, Thanks for showing us this! It's pretty cool that we got such an active, albeit occasionally negative thread going. I do thing most of the legitimate criticism (i.e well-meaning) is valid though -- we don't really do much explaining of *what* elementary is, why it's an "OS", or frankly,

It looks like your gsettings schemas got a bit out of whack. I'd try re-installing the relevant keys by re-installing the relevant applications/packages. Unless I'm completely wrong and there's something more significant happening here, but maybe someone else will be able to point it out. Avi On

While I don't disagree with that, I think it's something we're trying to move away from. I could be wrong, but I think that for elementary to thrive as a platform for third-party developers, we're going to automate packaging fully. (Maybe not for libraries, but certainly for apps). Granted, this

To go back to the original issue, if I'm understanding it, is that people would like to have the option of using an appmenu without any pre-loaded icons. This is the way it used to be with the original AppMenu class that someone wrote ages ago. When I created the AppMenu class currently in Granite,
