Well, let me be the first to thank you for all you efforts Kris, you have been extremely helpful to me, and I am actively developing a ERP (Ordering, purchasing, Inventory, CRM) for the company I work for. The work you and John Ralls et al. have done has made it possible for me to do my work.

John Ralls & co have been doing a good job > at making GTK+ easy to build and looking into scripts for simplifying > the creation of application bundles for GTK+ applications and a > framework. http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ I have successfully used this on OS X Leopard (build the framework and app using jhbuild, with ige-mac-integration), and have been able to build the framework on SN (but my application crashes out, I think because of libglade which I really need to move away from, fix it for GtkBuilder). I to wish it was more complete (window transparency and shaping, is what I'm looking for), but I do not have a good enough grasp of Cocoa and Carbon (Not very familiar with Next Step windowing system) to be of any use, but I will certainly try to help were I can. Two years moving from Windows to Linux, and now OS X, V1 to be deployed in 010110. I'm not quite sure what you mean (Jacob) when you say "native" implementation, if you look at the quartz backend it looks pretty close to me, again with a lot of FIXME's in non-essential areas such as (window shaping), but that is not at all important for our functionality. It works, and it works well on OS X, just follow the jhbuild procedures form the above link. > > > > -kris. > > _______________________________________________ > gtk-devel-list mailing list > gtk-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
