[e-users] [RFC] Removing gradient

[Cedric B. <ced...@fr...>]

Hi,

   Gradient in Evas and Edje needs a lot of attention and love. We
currently have two implementations in Evas, gradient and gradient2.
The later was intended to replace the former and should be easier to
accelerate in hardware. But it never received enought attention,
that's why Edje still use gradient. The only viable plan if we want to
keep this API is if someone adapt Edje to use gradient2, so we could
remove gradient and then rename gradient2 to gradient. But every one
of us is currently busy and many user prefer to use GIMP to generate a
gradient as a bitmap and just use that.
   So if no one can take care of it, I propose that after next
snapshot, we remove all code that refer to gradient and gradient2 in
Evas, Edje and E17 (This only concern the gradient background config
dialog).

Is someone ready to take care of gradient, or it's going to die !
