no problem...just wanted to clear that point in one very heated thread.Alan didnt mention that he was an employee, so I thought you might have assumed he was just some random person 'acting' like he knew what he was talking about. My bad, I assumed that part.

Enough random persons here already

I personally really like QT, but the feeling I get is that most in the Puppy world prefer gtk. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's always the feeling I've gotten. I think in part that's because of our long standing use of GTK and GTK based apps like gtkdialog.Smithy wrote:Maybe VLC and other QT would benefit from this?

style=cleanlooksYea QT apps sometimes need a bit more effort when trying to get a theme right... but when that's done... they look great. I do have to admit I like some of the new GTK3 styles, but that's incompat with puppy. So if i have to do work to go to a new framework... i'd personally put that effort into QT than GTK.Smithy wrote:Ha, I don't trust those computers running the lottery machines, I've seen one of them fail once and it was glossed over on the big night..hmmm..
I actually like GTK engine, what I was getting at is whether a little more coding in the Trolltech.conf file could produce good results when we slip into an app that uses QT. So far the tones and pallette examples that I have seen are garish, guess I need to learn how to get some pastel codes and put them in the .conf.
As standard in Puppy, the QT apps are erm..grey, just need a little spice but not too much. This example is not bad looking on Qjackctrl (I don't have VLC or other apps) but it could get a bit Aaaaaaaaaaargh after a few weeks lol.
And you can see the problem with dejavu overlapping in the display.
Yep that's true, there needs to be a foolproof way of switching, because we should respect the fact that different people like their different combos, personally mine is rox and openbox tint2, but I only need to go forward, backward, cut copy paste and drag.mikeb wrote:Actually must say there is a general trend to a better use of standards in puppy....others see the value too.
The only forced window manager/software I see happening is JWM/ROX...ie 'its not a puppy without it'.... that to me is unacceptable and takes away choice and their non standard behaviour which has to be pampered to makes development clumsy.
