Features/GTK3/Desktop Summit activities (view source)
Revision as of 08:35, 6 August 2011

There will be knowledgeable people at the event - Tomeu, J5, and more. It would be great if Sugar contributors could sit down with them, ask them to read [[Features/GTK3]], and discuss. Does that look sensible? What considerations have been missed? etc.

=== Theme ===
Benjamin Berg, the author of Sugar's GTK2 theme, is at the summit. He thinks that Sugar's existing theme won't work with GTK3, because GTK theming got totally rewritten for GTK3 (to be CSS-based). He is "destined" (his words!) to help us with the GTK3 port even though GTK3 theming is a new area for him, so the summit presents a good opportunity to get started.
Here is a simple experiment that could be used as a starting point:
# Launch sugar-jhbuild under F15, and launch Terminal
# Write a little "hello world" PyGI standalone app (not activity) that has (say) a GtkButton and a GtkEntry.
# Launch that app. Since it uses PyGI/GTK3, we expect it to not pick up the Sugar theme.
# See what can be done to start getting the theme working, applied to that application.
