Other/future projects • Re: GTK2 revival

When I'll have some time I'll give it a go and see if it improves usability. Many thanks.

Alright, just for you I fixed each and every bug I could find and heavily optimised the icon view to be MUCH more responsive. You can also change the size by holding ctrl and using the mousewheel now. The only thing that's missing is translations for the new ui elements Please try

I mean, I don't want to say GTK2 doesn't have any historical value,....

Interesting how Gnome did "Gnome-things" even back then, lol. Well, when I entered the Linux world Gnome 2 was the default desktop of Ubuntu, so that's kind of what I grew up with and feel nostalgic for. That being said: I do plan to heavily optimise gtk2. Today I heavily worked on optimising the filechooser for example. In the end I want there to be a DE that's to Gnome2 what TDE is to KDE3.

Agreed. Even touchscreen and smooth scrolling support I can't see how could be desirable.

Because Ardour implemented it, so I have to implement it too. I want Ardour to use my fork in the future. That's why. It will definitely be optional and only used in software that actively implements it. And yes, I heard about Osiris, hehe
