Re: [platform-dev] SWT-GTK theme support
|
Our application shows following information to the user:
*Old GTK3 version detected.*
Following GTK3 version was detected: 3.18.9. Version 3.20+ is strongly
recommended.
If you experience some strange GUI problems, please remove the leading #
from line
#export SWT_GTK3=0
in smartgit.sh or try to switch to Adwaita theme.
Right now I've got an answer from a user:
I'm not switching my entire desktop theme for one uncooperative
application. And I don't particularly want to disable GTK 3 altogether. Why
can't this just... work?
This is the typical answer from a user and he actually is right.

Hi Eric,
Of course it would be the ultimate goal that the SWT application will
look like the system, but you already sketched the problems. If this
goal is not to achieve for a larger amount of Linux systems, we need to
provide a different solution, so the SWT application will at least run
fine on any Linux machine. The drawback that it might look different
than the system might be acceptable if the alternative would be crashing
or looking completely odd. BTW, a couple of users of our application do
not want it to look like the system, they want to have, for example, a
bright system theme and a dark application theme.
