Warning before you do too much work. I'm doing a bit of a piecemail approach to implementing the mockups, since I have some special Ubuntu considerations:
1) I want to make sure the new code also works well as a gnome-control-center plugin (which is how deja-dup is visible in Ubuntu). This means that I would like to keep the overview and preferences in the same widget somehow, rather than have overview pop up a new window for preferences. And I can't over-rely on the new GtkHeader widget.
Down the road, I imagine it being best to write a new frontend for Ubuntu using their new QML-based SDK rather than trying to make the GNOME frontend also work for Ubuntu. (I'd still keep the GNOME frontend.)
2) I want to make sure to also support pre-GTK 3.10 (as Ubuntu 14.04 will stay with 3.8). I still will use 3.10 widgets, as they are important for getting the GNOME look right. I'll just have to add some #ifdefs and such.
Also, I notice that with GTK 3.10, the GtkListBox is how most of the settings are implemented. So I assume that the Scheduling tab should use those instead of more traditional label/widget combos. Your mockup already uses GtkListBox in the folder tabs, I believe.
I also have already done the app menu bit in trunk. But I haven't touched the overview page yet. If you have code for that, it could be useful.-mtOn 14 October 2013 15:46, mathieu jourdan gresille org <mathieu jourdan gresille org> wrote:
Hey!
That's really good to know!
I think I copied this icon from some mockup I can't remember of. Neither
could I find it in the icons repositories, so I uploaded my mockup
sources to the wiki.[0]
I also started coding, I didn't talked about it because I didn't want to
tease with something not functionnal yet. I basicaly have implemented
the following:
- app Menu
- ViewSwitcher
- a half of the overview with a « Back Up... » button to launch the
preferences
I guess it's time for me to create an account on lp and publish what
I've done so far. I come back to you ASAP, probably tomorrow.
A screenshot for the road! [1]
Thank you Michael for considering these proposals!
