A brief look into the gtk3 transition: - This won't be too hard.... The only issue I see is that table-widget doesn't auto-resize column-width as the tree-widget does. Auto-resizing will make a mess in pMusic's sourcelist, where ie. urls may be long and auto-moves all other columns out in the blue (read: to the right). Looking at the docs tells that this should be possible to override. But I can't figure out how ... 
Thanks for any suggestions. Sigmund _________________ Stardust resources |

It had to be done didn't it. The gates to gtk3 are now open for Puppy apps and Puppy itself although it may yet be discovered that gtk2 is worth staying with 
Resizeable tree columns was forced to TRUE in code because there was no developer interface to that property. What I shall do is make a custom tag attribute and you can set it with column-resizeable="true|false|true|false". There will likely be some tweaking involved. |

I've updated the build scripts so that the next time you checkout gtkdialog you should find that ./autogen.sh works. Thanks for the assistance with that. If the developers of sfs_load and Pwireless2 choose to support gtk3 then they will need to change the combobox, list and table widgets to comboboxtext and tree widgets. Important Disclaimer If somebody wants to create a gtk3 Puppy then they need to talk to the developers of those applications that require updating. I want to make it clear from the outset that I'm not pushing Puppy towards gtk3 or forcing developers to update their applications -- it's not mandatory and it's not my business, I'm just supporting another library

Could you please explain that some more? Does that mean that gtkdialog4 would be fixed at gtk-2 and gtkdialog5 would become the gtk-3 version? So would Puppy builders need to include both versions of gtk? For example, alphaOS has both. |

It makes more sense to just use the respective names to maintain backwards compatibility. |

Regarding the combobox vs comboboxtext widgets: IIRC, I once looked at comboboxtext in an older gtkdialog and it worked differently from combobox. But I checked in Slacko and they now appear to be identical. Is comboboxtext now a plug-and-play replacement for combobox? |

Uh oh, the mob's assembled with its truck-load of rocks 
Important Disclaimer Two In gtk2, the combobox (GtkCombo), list (GtkList) and table (GtkCList) widgets were deprecated (I think they were remnants of gtk1) and the gtk3 developers have expunged these old deprecated widgets from gtk3. It's very sad and if you're not happy about it then find out where they live and pooh on their lawns. I'm adding additional support for the gtk3 library -- it's optional -- so if you want your application to work with this additional optional gtk3 library then you'll have to accept the features that the gtk3 developers have offered you.
It doesn't make sense to do that. If I substitute a comboboxentry instead of a combobox, a tree instead of a list, a tree instead of a table then they'll behave in the same way and support the same properties? Of course they won't, but an application developer can additionally make their applications work with the optional gtk3 library by upgrading a few widgets if necessary.
That is absolutely none of my business in any possible way.
The combobox has an entry and is a very limited widget, so a comboboxentry would supplant it very easily. Regards, Thunor |

I apologize. I should have directed the question towards the Puppy developers. I was just trying to get a general sense of where this was heading. |

Regarding the gtk3 support in combination with Slacko 5.5 and the audacious sfs -- there's no default theme engine or theme so I've compiled the 3.4 branch of gnome-themes-standard (33MB) and got rid of everything except the default Adwaita engine and theme resulting in a 92KB pet, so if you want it then it's attached to this post. You'll need to create ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ and add two files: settings.ini
and gtk.css which will be empty. gtk3 doesn't support ~/gtkrc-2.0 and GTK2_RC_FILES. The gtk.css file above is explained here. There is a gtk3 function to load a style sheet so it might be that I'll have to add support for loading a custom gtk.css file. Regards, Thunor

Thank you so much Thunor for you effort!!!
I can't compile gtkdialog.gtk3 rev 505 yet. I do the next steps:
All works fine, but "make" gives me this error
Compiling with gtk2 works perfectly. But with ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk3=yes no. I don't know how to solve this. PD: i'm using archlinux Regards!! Matt |

*I don't think* (spec, at least as far as puppy is concerned) that gtk2 is going anywhere immediately soon. So, for now gtk3 is an option for puplet builders. The whole gtkdialog2, gtkdialog3, gtkdialog4 mess is a bit unfortunate. As most know Slacko ships with 1 and only 1 gtkdialog executable, the backward compatibility is restored with links. This will not change. I like thunor's suggestion to use gtk3dialog for the executable for now, at least until gtk2 is completely gone. I also, as far as Slacko is concerned, will be using the usual PREFIX path for distro packaged packages, which is /usr, so therefore the exec will go to /usr/bin. Those who compile themselves for their own use should leave the PREFIX paths as default, /usr/local. Of course Barry may completely disagree with what I do (often does). - Thanks thunor for the theme! I have another called "Kunitwo" (found on gnome-look.org) which supports gtk2/3 that I am using right now. It's pretty similar to "Adwaita" which is lurking in the Salix repo in disguise. _________________ Woof Mailing List | keep the faith  |  |

Hi Matt Do this:
and either dump the lot in a post or "tar -czvf output.tar.gz output.txt" and attach it. @Mick I don't see why gtk2 needs to disappear either. I like it and newer widget libraries look a bit dumbed down to me and I'm not interested in that. Have a look at the colorbutton in gtk3 although the fontbutton looks good.
I'm using "gtk3dialog" which seems pretty workable. Apart from using the audacious sfs to give me the gtk3 library, I haven't installed anything else apart from the missing default Adwaita engine and theme and everything I've looked at on gnome-look.org is giving me errors so I expect I'm missing something important. I read something about it here -- "a wild guess is that I don’t have some sort of GNOME resource broker running" -- but I'm fine with Adwaita anwyay. Regards, Thunor |

Hi thunor, A bit OT, but regarding the theme I couldn't get your way to work (PHATSlacko, pretty similar to Slacko) so I copied /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to ~/.config/gtk-3.0, also created a blank gtk.css. Also, to keep your desktop in harmony (and as a side effect mine ) I found an Adwaita gtk2 theme, but it requires the murrine engine which I compiled, see attached.
Cheers.
