Window wannabe? Take a look at this

I've been working on QT2.0 styles for KDE1.2/QT2.0 and have come up with this so far:

QT 2.0 and GTK Themes

[Anonymous Coward]

This is shaping up to be a very interesting arms
race. Does anyone have the inside scoop on who
started the move to theme technology? I first
heard of GTK implementing themes, but did QT
have this in the works for some time? (And
please no mentions of: "Yeah my brother's tool
kit did that bad in 1985.")

Obviously QT had the base for different themes
with both their Motif/Windows toggle but my
guess is it was rather hard to implement and
2.0 is a big re-working of that code.

What both GTK and QT need is for data-binding
to ODBC or other data sources? Businesses, the real
pushers behind standards in these areas, need
database applications. I think if Troll
had put some people on database stuff instead
of OpenGL widgets they would have businesses
eating their product up.

Yeah 1.1 pre-2 seems stable and complete to me..

[Anonymous Coward]

Don't use 1.1pre2 !
There are bugs in it (e.g. removing a symlink to a
directory removes the directory itself, recursively !)
And I fixed some other things in kfm.
Please, please, when you can (binary packages are not
available yet), upgrade to the real 1.1

What if...

[Kenelson]

I am not sure what you mean when you say "gtk-- is such a piece of crap." Could you please be a little more specific as to what you find missing? Free software such as gtk-- only improves if we know what is wrong.

Currently Gtk-- provides

• A good signal system comparable with Qt.
• C++ mechanisms to the gtk+ toolkit.
• C++ access to gnome widgets.
• A lowlevel interface to X drawing primatives.

We have been making vast improvements in the documentation and the code readablity in the last two weeks. And we are preparing for a stable release to correspond with Gtk+ 1.2.

Is there something more you desire, or is there some feature that we are missing that we should add? We would really like to know before we realease 1.0. Also when was the last time you looked over the interface?

KDE 1.1 is NOT out yet

[Baddog Abel]

Why preannounce it, just like LinuxToday?
It's true that it'll be put on ftp.kde.org very soon, but only the directory structure is present!! Nothing's there now!
Everything is still under the unstable branch. Period.

What an asshole!!!

[Alex Zepeda]

Uh no. KDE 1.2 has been shipped with a few known bugs. Me.. I don't like this policy of meet the deadline rather than meet quality standards. But some of the powers-that-be just couldn't wait. Not much can be done about that. And yes I hope 1.1.1 is shipped soon.

Yes, but no code? Pffft.

[Alex Zepeda]

You obviously haven't looked at it yourself, otherwise you wouldn't make such factless stupid comments. There are bindings for C, Perl, Python and perhaps Tk for KDE.

And you're obviously not sorry to say what you've said. So stop saying you're sorry.. in the words of a wise person I once knew.. you're cheapening the words [dumbass].

I'm sure if there was a demand for Ada bindings, people would make them. Hell I'd volunter to make them, but it means I would have to ditch FreeBSD, something I'm not willing to do (well that and I'd have to learn Ada..).
