That's a shame, given that exposing GTK's scaling capabilities would be useful for supporting both hi-dpi displays and varying user preferences alike. Even though lacking, it could begin to unravel this chicken-and- egg problem. Having a scalable theme is needed for this (imagine letting the user scale a bitmap theme!).
Particularly given that unico has great support for avoiding the use of bitmaps (11.10 had only one bitmap -- the slider with a sharp end, rendering most of its UI using CSS properties). Scaling only text is not useful as a user preference. I know it's needed for different circumstances (incl. different scripts), but it's not enough. David Zeuthen had a demo in the pre-gtk3 days*; it was ok but only scaled a few properties (e.g. border-radius was constant). -- nachokb * https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel- list/2008-August/msg00044.html (the images can be found on archive.org) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043568 Title: Quantal Light themes regression (usage of bitmaps) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/1043568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
