Whatever Mark wants, what you are saying is close to FUD. The display server has nothing to do with the toolkit used to draw your widgets. Actually, the rest of the world is moving from X too (to Wayland) and nothing will change. Beyond that, the reason that relies under Unity being rewritten in Qt is not Qt itself, but QML. The thing is that there are a lot of apps out there that are written in GTK, and that are outside the control of Ubuntu. And they will be keep using GTK for long. These two commands will give you a clue: apt-cache rdepends libgtk2.0-0 | wc -l apt-cache rdepends libgtk-3-0 | wc -l Regards -- José Carlos García Sogo [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ darktable-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-devel
