This is the answer to their calls. > > * New focus representation > - You know, the old dotted rectangle focus ring sucked. So I added two > engine options to allow nicer focus representation. One is adding > transparent rectangle over the widget, the other one is to set, whether > we want the secondary focus ring inside or outside the widget. Due to > focus styling of Tabs and Radio and Check Buttons these options have no > effect on their focus ring styling. > - In firefox the focus needs to be handled traditional way (i.e. drawn > independently on the widget), so Check and Radio Buttons have in firefox > different focus representation than in ordinary gtk app. > > * Gradient support in Toolbar and Menu Bar improvements > - I added one more type of gradient to Menu Bar and added same support > for gradients in Toolbars as is in Menu Bar. Both are handled > independently via engine options in RC file. > - This has, from what I noticed so far, two drawbacks. One is volume > button in toolbar (it draws its own background, while it IMHO shouldn't; > I noticed it in Listen Music Player) and next is new message button in > Evolution, for the same reason. For the Evolution one I noticed that > Clearlooks workaround this by disabling gradient in evolution toolbar. > However, I am personally not interested in such workaround. > > * New themes > - Yep, I created several themes featuring the Nodoka engine. They all go > to the gtk-nodoka-engine-extras package. You can see how they look in > the Screenshots page [3] in nodoka trac. > > * Fake real transparency for Spin Button, Entry and Progress Bar > - This allows having these widgets with rounded corners with as much > roundness as one please, but when displayed in not-so-standard locations > like in toolbar or on web page the transparency is gone... If anyone > knows of a way how to use really transparent background for these I'd be > grateful to hear that. > > * Style list headers in evolution as list headers > - As these are in ECanvas in ETree or ETable it needed some kind of > workaround in the engine, but it seems to work flawlessly. > > * Tooltips styling > - Yep, finally I added styling for tooltips as well. Now it uses subtle > gradient and soft borders. > > * Improvements to Spin Button > - Apart from fake transparency, the buttons are now separated and > responsive to user actions (like mouse-over, etc.) > > * Add RTL support > - This issue was brought on the table thanks to firefox guys and as such > I tested it only in firefox, so if someone with right-to-left text set > in their locale could test it, I'd be grateful. > > * and various bugfixes > > Thanks, > Martin > > References: > [1] https://fedorahosted.org/nodoka/newticket > [2] > http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=nodoka;a=blob_plain;f=gtk-nodoka-engine/ChangeLog;hb=ddf6368b0c8ac6775ce5be0654ec031652c6a08e > [3] > http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=nodoka;a=blob_plain;f=gtk-nodoka-engine/ChangeLog;hb=ddf6368b0c8ac6775ce5be0654ec031652c6a08e > Using it now and it looks good! no critics from me ^_^ -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
