Well, let me be the first to thank you for all you efforts Kris, you have been extremely helpful to me, and I am actively developing a ERP (Ordering, purchasing, Inventory, CRM) for the company I work for. The work you and John Ralls et al. have done has made it possible for me to do my work.

I to wish it was more complete (window transparency and shaping, is what I'm looking for), but I do not have a good enough grasp of Cocoa and Carbon (Not very familiar with Next Step windowing system) to be of any use, but I will certainly try to help were I can. Two years moving from Windows to Linux, and now OS X, V1 to be deployed in 010110. I'm not quite sure what you mean (Jacob) when you say "native" implementation, if you look at the quartz backend it looks pretty close to me, again with a lot of FIXME's in non-essential areas such as (window shaping), but that is not at all important for our functionality. It works, and it works well on OS X, just follow the jhbuild procedures form the above link. > > > > -kris. > > _______________________________________________ > gtk-devel-list mailing list > gtk-devel-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list |
