[Ed2k-gtk-gui-announce] gtk2 edonkey?

[axel c <ax...@ba...>]

hi all,


as tim knows, i've been thinking for some time about a gtk2 port of the
ed2k gui. it shouldn't be that hard, and we could benefit from a lot of
things, like antialiased fonts, icons in PNG format with alpha channel
effects, powerful lists and some more stuff...

the port would be easy but not absolutely trivial, i have tried simply
compiling it without GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED defined and after changing a
couple of things (mostly removing the GtkText and GtkCLists and using
GtkTextView and GtkTreeView) it dies miserably with a segmentation fault
deep inside gtk_init(). so i guess we should rather create a new
interface using glade-2 and progresively add the gui code in it... what
do you say tim, perhaps we could create a cvs branch for the gtk2 port?

apart from that, tim, i haven't been able to find credit for tigert and
jimmac (authors of the icons contained in the gnome2 icon theme) in the
gui source, i think they deserve mention for their killer artwork. im
probably stupid and couldnt find the right doc... ;)

cheers all,

axel
