From my understanding GTK3 is fine. The hated thing in Gnome 3 is the GnomeSHell.GTK 2 and 3 are compatible from what I understand. So, why aren't we simply maintaining or porting the old desktop stuff instead of using GNomeShell, as opposed to forks like MATE and Cinnamon?
GTK2 and GTK3 are not API compatible. A bunch of programs have been ported, but the efforts are not just to be underrated.
GTK2 and GTK3 are insofar compatible that they can be parallel installed.

How bad is the difference? I imagine that if it isn't too far off it would be possible to create a translation matrix to do most of the tedious porting work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
