I have just tested the image created yesterday by Davide. The installer
looks very nice, it solves the bug where the selected item in multiselect
lists is not displayed and I've seen no regressions.
There is one minor issue. VT1 gets flooded with two messages:
* Repeated a lot:
(debconf: 9999): Gdk-DirectFB-WARNING **: gdk_directfb_gc_set_dashes not
implemented
* Repeated a lot while progress bar is running:
Gdk_DirectFB-Message: filled polygons with n > 3 are not yet supported,
drawing outlines
Seems like the engine uses some "advanced" features that are not supported
by gdk-directfb, though it does seem to cleanly fall back to alternatives.
I'd like to prevent the flooding of VT1 though; would it be possible to
suppress these warnings?
That's because filled polygon with more than 3 edges drawing is not
currently supported: a patch for this exists, but wasn't committed yet
AFAIK [1].
To prevent VT1 pollution, such warnings could be simply silenced (see
attached patch).
I have one question: how will implementing this clearlooks engine affect
implementing the bladr and "dark" theme? I'd like to avoid implementing
several different themes/engines for Etch and instead stick to only:
- one default theme
- the dark theme (or rather one theme for visually impaired people)
AFAIK, Bladr and the dark theme are no longer needed / applicable, as
they use the libpixmap engine, not clearlooks, and should not be
packaged in the g-i.
IIRC, loic has also packages the h(igh)c(ontrast)engine engine, which
should be ok to implement accessibility.
We may need tweak something in rootskel-gtk to allow GTK theme choose at
boot time.
cheers
