Haiku backend in GTK/GDK?

Development

Looks fantastic Gerasim, fluid and responsive. GIMP on Haiku looks one step closer.

Scroll bar auto-hiding should be turned off.

This is so true. Yesterday I was working on porting my companies OpenGL product to Vulkan on Linux, and the autohiding scrollbars on Gnome are a terrible usability design. I’d activate the window resize cursor change 80% of the time while struggling to see / access the vertical scroll bar. From a usability point of view, 1 in 5 success rate. Bad design.

@3dEyes, is this the latest version (looking into bumping what I had earlier), see that is now requiring rustc and cargo (librsvg)

32

Considering that there is stiil a lot of work to do on colour mapping in Qt haiku widget style (menus, for example) , do you expect it to be easier with gdk/gtk?

i build librsvg 2.40.21 version - same in gentoo - https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/gnome-base/librsvg

It’s very early to think about it.

35

Thanks! I saw they made the switch after 2.41.*, so probably go from there for the recipe, ps build for 2.48.3 failed :slight_smile:

36

Base build for 2.40.21 seems to be OK here, did you enable vala and gobject-introspection also? (seeing gdk_pixbuf is lacking support for gir atm)

37

I’m guessing compiling and running the latest version of GIMP is the real test?

@3dEyes, is it possible to build Firefox with GTK3?

39

Let’s wait until we have a GTK3 application at least in the depot before we worry about Firefox. (It’s worth noting Firefox has a “headless” backend, and of course we do not even have that yet.)
