support for those features has already been developed and it is going to be added to GAction before we release GLib 2.38 and GTK 3.10, and improved in the future so that it matches with the overall spirit and design of the API. if you want to influence where the API is going, you can start looking at how to port your code, what you think it's missing, and file bugs. dropping on irc.gnome.org, in the #gtk+ channel, is also a good idea. > Removing icons from menus seems like a pointless attempt to emulate OS > X. There are places where menu icons do make sense. you should *really* read the document linked in Jon's email; it answers the questions about when and where icons should be used inside menus. it's not a blanket removal (and it's not something done to "emulate OSX"; please, refrain from making snap judgements in the future). ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
