I don't know if "ported" is the right term here. As I understand it, client side windows code was from the start written for the Windows backend, too. How well it works is another question. I have heard that some complex applications behave wildly erratically with GTK+. gtk-demo seems to work fine, though. The ms-windows theme engine doesn't work nicely in GTK+ 2.18, so I don't include it in the binaries above. This is unfortunate. This is a problem in the ms-windows theme engine code, it needs to be modified to work with client-side windows. Also, using the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment variable to fall back to non-client-side-windows code causes erratic behaviour and crashes, just in gtk-demo even. But otherwise it seems to work... --tml ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Any idea on how difficult it'd be to modify the ms-windows theme engine code to make it work, and do you happen to know if anyone is currently working on this? - Patrick ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Perhaps not that hard, as it "partially" works; if you move the cursor around in gtk-demo, the UI elements gradually appear under the pointer... > and do you happen to know if > anyone is currently working on this?

I just got around to trying this, in the process of building up to date PyGtk+ installers for windows (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589671) It is worse than I thought. gtk-demo isn't close to working.
