There is a GTK3 backend now, hopefully that should make HiDPI work, support Wayland, etc. – depending on how it's implemented of course.
Doesn't look like it's ready to handle all the UI (?) though – in the promo screenshot there's one GTK window on top of a more classic Pharo window (?)
- creamytaco 5y agoBecause GTK3 is so great on Linux, we should run it on macOS and Windows too... I don't know what they were thinking. As far as I can tell, Pharo UI history has been one bad (as in not pragmatic) decision after another.
- jhgb 5y agoIt's the MVP of native GUIs. Should a purely-Win32-based UI arrive later, the additional work would at least be validated and trailblazed by the first Gtk implementation. You can't expect a small set of people do everything at once just because you want them to.
- estebanlor 5y agoit doesn't yet support the whole IDE (because it has some other complications, we will solve in next release), but it supports application development with it.
- floatboth 5y agoCool. How does it work, is it 100% native widgets? Are there any platform specific (x11 etc.) things used?
- estebanlor 5y agoit works everywhere gtk3 works (we have production applications in windows, macOS and obviously linux)
