Once his account is setup, would you be able to give André push access on the Mousepad repository too? I have push access but I don't think I can give it to others or if I can, I don't know how.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Landry,<br>
Yes, I'd like to be the maintainer of this plugin, but I don't have a @<br>
<a href="http://xfce.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">xfce.org</a> mail, it could be <a href="mailto:andre@xfce.org" target="_blank">andre@xfce.org</a> or <a href="mailto:andre.miranda@xfce.org" target="_blank">andre.miranda@xfce.org</a>.<br>
Do you guys also need my SSH public key?<br>
<br>
Thnx!<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
so, if we want to have Xfce 4.14 with Gtk+3 in a foreseeable future, at<br>
some point porting has to resume/restart.. in the past days, i've spent<br>
some time porting *some* of the panel plugins i *somewhat* maintain, and<br>
here are some tips and tricks:<br>
<br>
* i'm targetting Gtk+3 only, bye-bye Gtk+2. Technically it would be<br>
doable to support both with some #ifdefs, but is there a point..<br>
* i'm going for a feature-parity target first. No UI revamp, no<br>
revolution. Ideally, i'd like to move dialog construction to .ui files<br>
/ GtkBuilder, that might come next. Same thing, using cairo drawing<br>
instead of abusing progressbars for monitors/meters might be nice,<br>
maybe next.<br>
* devhelp is your friend to browse the Gtk+3 doc, as is<br>
<a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/</a><br>
* there's an ongoing discussion to know if we finally target 3.14 or<br>
3.20, as there are some 'breaking' changes wrt styling in >= 3.16 with<br>
css providers (see<br>
<a href="https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2016/04/29/yet-another-gtk-update/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2016/04/29/yet-another-gtk-update/</a>)<br>
* styling that worked in 3.14 is considered deprecated in 3.16/3.20, so<br>
has to be #ifdef'ed, see for example<br>
<br>

* most of the changes are mechanical, Replacing XfceHVBox /<br>
GtkHBox/GtkVBox by GtkBox, using GtkOrientable, replacing GtkTable by<br>
GtkGrid, replacing GTK_STOCK* macros by their gtk equivalent names,<br>
replacing GtkToggleButton/GtkCheckBox by GtkSwitch, replacing GdkColor<br>
by GdkRGBA, usinc GtkCssProvider instead of setting bg/base colors.. all<br>
this is documented in Gtk+3 doc when a widget is deprecated, and the<br>
general migration doc is here :<br>

<br>
So far, i've ported over the following plugins (have a look at the<br>
commits to see what changes are needed):<br>

<br>
Not everything is perfect, but things are moving nicely.<br>
<br>
To 'compare' gtk2 and gtk3 version and have both in the same panel, i<br>
use the following trick (for a 'foo' panel plugin):<br>
* in /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/, copy foo.desktop to<br>
foo-git.desktop<br>
* in foo-git.desktop, only keep untranslated Name/Comment and append<br>
'git' to Name to differentiate plugins<br>
* append X-XFCE-API=2.0 to foo-git.desktop<br>
* append '-git' to X-XFCE-Module line<br>
* symlink path/to/my/workdir/panel-plugin/.libs/libfoo.so to<br>
/usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libfoo-git.so<br>
<br>
xfce4-panel -a should allow you to load the git version of the plugin,<br>
without overwriting the 'released' gtk2 version.<br>
<br>
Mandatory screenshots using clearklooks theme, one with gtk3 versions<br>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/UwZEaGN.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/UwZEaGN.png</a> (not all the checkbox are migrated to<br>
gtkswitch, and i know systemload dialog is a bit huge...)<br>
and the same thing with the last release of the same plugins<br>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/aS44yQV.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/aS44yQV.png</a> and the two panels with the same plugins<br>
loaded using default config. Okay, progressbars dont look the same,<br>
buttons might be a git bigger...<br>
<br>
All that to say that it's an easy task for someone who wants to start<br>
playing with gtk code and porting to gtk3 - all help on this is welcome!<br>
If there's a plugin you use and care about, and that looks<br>
abandoned/unmaintained, grab the git master, try to apply the same<br>
changes, and post patches to bugzilla/the list.<br>
<br>
Of course, feedback, criticism and testing are welcome! I've only tested<br>
those changes on my OpenBSD desktop with Gtk 3.20.3..<br>
