Hi,here a few more informations to the approach I am taken. Daniel Narvaez asked me yesterday about it, so there might have been some questions floating around already :) The first part of the work is getting the shell hippo free and using GTK widgets instead. The views have to be ported to GTKContainers and in the toolkit we have to replace the CanvasIcon with an EventBox (for receiving the events) that contains an IconBuffer to draw the icon itself. We renamed that widget to EventIcon in the process. The API stays the same, just for more clarity size has been renamed to pixel_size. I have pushed the current state of the shell port to a temporary repo [1] and this toolkit-gtk2 patch to a temporary repo [2] as well. So the toolkit-gtk2 part will never really land but it is good to have it around for making the shell port. Once this no-hippo work is done we can run the autoconverter script (GTK2-GTK3) and then do the cleanup for GTK+ 3. Same way as we did for the toolkit port. The two branches are both tracked in sugar-build as well [3].

More writeup on the decisions taken: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3/Shell/Hippo_Removal That should help when reading the new code. Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
