Re: gtk3(mm) under Os X



Out of curiosity, in macports ML they said GTK3 works best on XQuartz and here you're saying the best way is to build against quartz, which is also what homebrew does ...why do they say gtk3 on quartz isn't good? What am I missing?

Anyway, I've used GJS via brew and adwaita-icon-theme formulas and never had big problems beside webkitgtk

The recommendation on [1] is to build the current GTK+ yourself using
jhbuild with no homebrew installed. There are instructions for it. You
may want to take a look at how gedit does things [2].

I don't know how well it blends in (haven't tried it in a while), but
you can try installing gedit and see how well gedit blends in.
