Gtk+ needs a theme-engine test program
Last modified: 2011-08-29 01:41:01 UTC
as more and more theme-enabling or theme specific code gets added to the gtk+ core, e.g. multiple versions drawing routines that just differ in the passed on details, a new test program is needed. a test program needs to be written and added to stock gtk+ that first installs its own drawing functions (theme engine) and then serves as a testbed to pop up new widget dialogs which exploit themability specific behaviour.
should probably tweak prop-editor.c to allow setting style properties
(In reply to comment #1) > should probably tweak prop-editor.c to allow setting style properties i don't think that really solves the issue. or rather, might be useful as an extension to the desrbied testing scenrios. i.e. we still need a test program/suit that installs its own theme engine drawing functions to make certain tests (testing drawing details also could be done then).
Take a look at the make check rules in the gtk-engines package. It contains quite a few tests and checks for the gtk-engines that are installed.
we have widget-factory in tests/ now, which is a good start for this.
