Today I was chatting with tbf in the irc, about implementing something like: http://www.cidadedomoble.com/smultron/a.swf
for gtksourceview. But finally he said that I should point this here as would be better implement it in gtk+ directly. Here you have the chat: <nacho> tbf, I think you kind of a cairo guru, any tip to make something like http://www.cidadedomoble.com/smultron/a.swf with cairo for gtksourceview? <robtaylor> nacho: shiny <robtaylor> nacho: should be doable with compositing <nacho> robtaylor, any example on how to make it with compositing? <nacho> no idea about developing with compositing stuff <tbf> nacho, robtaylor: this doesn't even need composition <tbf> nacho, robtaylor: i'd just create a GtkTextTag and use this information to do a regular animation <tbf> nacho, robtaylor: maybe even could be directly added to gtk+ by introducing some new GtkTextTag property <tbf> GktTextTag::show-with-bling <robtaylor> tbf: you're the expert :) <nacho> would be great <amigadave> GtkTexTag::pimp-my-tag <nacho> tbf, don't think is even neccessary create a tag, we have the start and the end iters, what I don't know is how to create the animation <tbf> nacho: well, but you want to keep that tag highlighted <tbf> nacho: so you need this anyway <nacho> the tag is already highlighted by gtk <tbf> nacho: didn't i just say, this bling probably should be directly added to gtk? <nacho> I mean when you select some text, that's already highlighted, I wanna add a func in gsv to select with effect <tbf> nacho: i'd suggest you raise this topic on gtk-devel-list <nacho> ok <tbf> nacho: especially as also the theme-engine guys would like to join the discussion <murrayc> Couldn't you just start a timeout callback that changed the color of the tag? <nacho> murrayc, that was I was thinking in the first place <nacho> but if tbf says that should go in gtk+ maybe it is better <nacho> less work to me <tbf> nacho, murrayc: first experiments could be done that way <tbf> nacho, murrayc: and the implementation in gtk would look similar <murrayc> yeah <tbf> nacho, murrayc: in the end my point just is, that i would be nice if that code would be done i a generic way
