[Pharo-project] [OT] GTK3 directions - what about Morphic ?
Hi, I've seen: - you can style GTK3 with CSS: http://gnomejournal.org/article/107/styling-gtk-with-css - GTK3 apps can be rendered in a web browser: http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/ This sounds sexy. I wonder how hard it would be to have SimpleMorphic go in this direction. And whether this is useful or not. Laurent.

Well, it is orthogonal. However, i like the idea of having similar to CSS for theming/styling UI. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
I don't. This is very "linuxish" and not "macish" :P Being seriuos: the posibility to change the look and feel for an application, being "whatever you want" is powerful for developers, but tends to create applications with usability problems, because users expect a common user interface for all "common behavior" in their applications (at least in Mac, it is that way, windoze users are more used to a non-common user interface). best, Esteban El 16/03/2011, a las 9:31a.m., Igor Stasenko escribió:

Yes change look for one application only is not good. But the blog post talks about changing the look of all the environment (well GTK) at once. Laurent.
