Hi! A peak at the probable future, highlights are use of CSS, themed animation support and ARGB:

But at least we have a team of > people trying to push an idea forward. > > This is a rough summary of the agreements/plans we did during the hackfest: > * Get rid of style properties and replace them with global padding (on GtkBin) > * Get rid of GtkRCStyle and GtkStyle (Cody to work on a smooth migration path) > * An extensible GtkStyle replecament that allows to get rid of the > detail string (Carlos Garnacho's GtkStyleContext). > * All drawing funcitions to use a cario context and hide GtkWidget and > GdkWindow (Strong request from 3rd party toolkits) > * Use a CSS syntax for theme files (work with Jens to find a way to > make Qt and Gtk+ files somewhat compatible in the future if possible) > * Use CSS matching rules to apply to the scene graph (hierarchy, siblings...) > * Deprecate (polygon, diamond, tab, shadow primitives). > * New GtkStateType (bit field that allows multiple states at the same time). > * Have a comprehensive list of the widget parts (pseudo elements) > available in the toolkit. (Right now implicit in hierarchy+detail > string). > * Try to keep the primitives as small as possible (draw_part + special > cases like draw_text_layout...) > * Themed animation support (garnacho's timeline+stylecontext) > * Hit detection (allow engines to push the last shape drawn to the > style context, use of the transformation matrix to support layout > animations to detect hits). > * Basic CSS support in the default engine, full CSS support in a full > featured CSS engine (Robert Staudinger work on libcroco/libccss). > * ARGB by default > * Port the 2.x default engine to use cairo natively. > > Yes, loads of crazy stuff, but we think we can do it, we would > appreciate any feedback. > > Some branches where people are trying out stuff: > * git://github.com/aruiz/gtk-roles-and-siblings.git (hit detection > support based on garnacho's style-context, checkout the style-context > branch) > * git://github.com/garnacho/gtk-roles-and-siblings.git (garnacho's > style-context and animation support, checkout the style-context > branch) > * git://github.com/thos/gtk-cairo-engines.git (2.x default engine port to > cairo) > * http://bzr-playground.gnome.org/~robsta/libccss-selection-engine/ > (improvements towards support needed features of CSS) > -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
