Hello LXDE people, I have a question regarding the porting to GTK3 of some LXDE applications. I am aware of the new LXDE-Razor Qt cooperation and I'm also aware that you are currently porting all your applications to Qt in this process. Some of your applications (say, for example, LXappearance) are in a somewhat-ported-but-not-quite-there-yet state. What will happen with this? I'm asking because I am interested in continuing the porting of some of these applications but before I set out on doing this, I would like to know if there are other people out there doing exactly that already. Thanks in advance, Jente |

We have given up GTK3 due to it is bloated and buggy, therefore no plans to make it to GTK3 what wasn't already done. >Thanks in advance, >Jente With best regards. Andriy. |

Lxpanel never works with gtk+ 3, and pcmanfm only partially work if you compile it against gtk+ 3. Others should work. The panel and the file manager are the parts that are not finished. There is no plan to finish the porting. However since it's open source anyone is free to finish the task or even fork the project. Currently lxde-qt is in a good shape already. We took most parts of razor-qt and try to integrate the two projects. Regarding to appearance, razor-qt has a tool for it, but it's not at the same level as lxappearance. Most of the qt configs can be done in qtconfig-qt4 program already. So what our tools need to do is not that complicated. I'll take care of this part.

Others should work. Well, since I fixed those bugs that were found for gtk3, the PCManFM should work just fine with gtk3. BTW, do you know Fedora users have no gtk2 version of PCManFM at all? They have only gtk3 version and yes, they left few bugreports that I had no choice but fix. ;) Cheers! Andriy. |
