Nice! Thanks for the explanation. Do you plan to port to GTK 3 in the future? Does version 2 even have HiDPI support?

- therzok 9y agoWe have some glue code to workaround lack of retina/hidpi support in gtk+. Yes, having Gtk UI running on Gtk 3 is something we want to have at some point.
- 0xFFC 9y agoThis is the most unbelievable thing. Even WSL was kinda okay to imagine. But Microsoft and Gtk? I thought after buying Xamarin they would replace Gtk part.
- tmsldd 9y agoUnbelievable :D
- jhasse 9y agoAwesome! Thank you for still keeping up with GTK+ and hopefully also improving its support on macOS and Windows along the way. > lack of retina/hidpi support in gtk+. You should phrase this as "support in gtk+ 2", because since version 3 GTK+ supports HiDPI :)
- flukus 9y agoThe opinion of the GTK devs seems to be that it's very much the "gnome toolkit" and that cross platform is not planned at all.
- jhasse 9y agoThat's not the opinion of everyone. Gedit for example has an up to date Windows version. Inkscape and GIMP both have macOS and Windows versions, but I think they still run version 2. GNOME definitely is the focus as their resources are quite limited. That's why I welcome Microsoft using it and hope to see some improvements for Windows and macOS in the future.
- flukus 9y agoLast time I tried it didn't even work well with cygwin, every app would take a minute to start up while it tried to talk to systemd.
- jhasse 9y agoYou shouldn't use cygwin, but MSYS2: http://www.msys2.org/ http://www.msys2.org/ For Gedit you can just download it here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit It starts up immediately for me. Inkscape and GIMP also have dedicated installers.
