If some people do worry a lot about the frameworks and libraries used by their apps, they need some real concerns in their life. There's no need for openSUSE to spend time feeding into more of this silly toolkit purism nonsense.
Agreed. While Ilya has a point that some apps don't honour the desktop settings very well there are quite a few ways around that these days. With Oxygen-GTK, GTK apps follow 90% of the relevant settings in KDE and I'd much rather see work in finishing the last 10% (like using native file dialogs etc) than separating the two further...
I would even propose to use the upcoming oxygen-gtk 2.0 as default style in GNOME to ensure a consistent look if one uses KDE apps in it. Oxygen- gtk 2.0 will have native (gtk) configuration etc so that would be a nice step forward for the integration. Next up would be using native file dialogs in each desktop, I suppose.
And what if someone prefers a different style than Oxygen? Even the location of desktop directories is different in different DEs. Or imagine one wants a screensaver for KDE4, he installs, but... it's a screensaver for KDE3 (although claims it's for KDE).
Or patch Qt to pick the GNOME style when running in GNOME and GTK to pick oxygen-gtk
This is impossible, at least we cannot do anything with it
when running in KDE. Actually, the first thing is supposed to work but doesn't for me.
Anyway. The artificial split between KDE/Qt and GNOME/GTK is an annoyance which probably won't go away because many ppl still have an irrational hate for one of the other, which is why Ubuntu (of all
This is not irrational hate, this is desire to have well-integrated desktop and avoid bugs which most often appear when mixing applications, settings and components from different environments. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
