Sorry me if this has been said in other post, but if
gtk is not the "default" graphical library what
library gonna be ETK the "official" one? Just to
document me for future apps(ideas) in mind
please read my prior email. why does everyone think that there has
to be an
official widget set and thus everyone has to move to it? use what
solves your
problems best for you!
This may be a naive understanding, but I think most people on this
list assume that their apps will look best if they are written using
the same toolkit as that used by the phone's main apps. I think one
would assume that it'll be easiest to interface with these apps - to
have one's GPS application interface with the SMS app in order to
send one's location to a contact, for instance - if they're written
in the same toolkit.
I think back in the olden dayes, one had problems copying & pasting
between KDE & Gnome apps, and that changing one's theme in KDE did
not change the colour of the widgets within the windows of the Gnome
apps one was unable to avoid using [1]. Perhaps these problems have
been fixed by now, but surely you would be glad to have all
developers for the platform choose the same toolkit as you?
Stroller.
[1] Sorry - I'm afraid I had a bad experience with Gnome some years ago.
