[Torios] message board woes
Since the message board got hacked to pieces, I have temporarily removed it until I can re-implement it with better security. One thing that will be necessary is for three or four people to step up as moderators to keep an eye on things. Also, I noticed that it went unused for a long time, are you guys planning on using it internally for discussion, or for interaction with end users in which case google plus may suffice. Basically, do you really need it at all?

[Torios] More JWM testing...
We need a way to change the GTK theme of applications (since most are GTK) I propose gtk-chtheme It is simple and works well. We will of course need a default GTK theme at some point as well -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Torios] More JWM testing...
Maybe we should concentrate on non-GTK apps. GTK is nearly dead for non-Gnome-Shell related stuff. Even Audacious is now switching to Qt. GTK breaks nearly everything every few months including themes, Gnome Shell addons and behaviour like Client side decorations.

Audacious might be going to Qt... but for now they are going back to GTK2 http://www.webupd8.org/2014/06/audacious-going-back-to-gtk2-starting.html I agree that Gnome is breaking compatibility with each new GTK release. GTK4 is coming and not everything has been ported to GTK3. There are a lot of things developers are doing in the GNU/Linux sphere that are making users and developers uneasy... however we still need a GTK theme for GTK apps. The default 'no theme' looks like Windows 3.1. I have been testing JWM, and it was a glaring defect I noticed. There is a library that themes Qt apps to use the same theme as GTK apps (more or less). So choosing a GTK theme to use is a reasonable choice. XFCE is GTK2, LXDE is GTK2 (until LXQt becomes the standard), Gnome is GTK+ Ubuntu is still GTK (for now). Many apps use the Gimp ToolKit. My settings app is FLTK, it uses neither, and will look the same on any DE (unless the global FLTK settings are changed). Qt is nice, and can be lightweight (Qupzilla is an amazingly fast browser even on old machines.. which is something we might consider using)... but we still need GTK apps to look decent either way. -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
