GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 41041
We should use .gtkrc files or everyone will hate us
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
For fonts, at least, we are making a nice UI for selecting them. But there's already a GNOME framework for this sort of thing. It's the gtkrc files, and you control things by editing them. So why do some parts of our program have a different way of controlling the font and how does this interact with the files. Of course the way you set up these files is by editing them so they are pretty lame for non-expert users. ------- Additional Comments From ramiro@fateware.com 2000-05-30 17:28:50 ---- i hate this bug ------- Additional Comments From ramiro@fateware.com 2000-05-30 23:09:47 ---- Reassigning bug to arlo@eazel.com. Arlo, we need to decide what the policy is for honoring gtkstyle things. Once we know that, you can file specific bugs on violations of that policy. thanks ------- Additional Comments From arlo@workthatmouse.com 2000-07-13 17:49:37 ---- I hate this bug too. ------- Additional Comments From arlo@workthatmouse.com 2000-09-06 18:36:06 ---- This isn't my call to make, how font information is stored. ------- Additional Comments From ramiro@fateware.com 2000-09-07 05:06:38 ---- Ive already taken this issue into account in many places. I think that both Arlo and Andy agree that for the 'Gnome Theme' in Nautilus, we should honor as much of the GtkStyles and stuff as humanly possible. So now, the issue of enforcing this policy still remains. Arlo, for best results I stronglt suggest that you be the person to own this issue and file bugs as you see fit. For example, if you see that with a particular gtk theme, there is a rendering error in Nautilus, then thats a bug - probably for me. So this issue is not really a bug per se as much as an on going role for you. Again, for consistency issues, I suggest you be the owner. You can also coordinate this effort with QA. You could provide them with a list of Gtk themes to try and what to look for. They could even integrate this into their smoketests. Its possible we dont have the bandwith for this, but we should consider it at least for the Eazel Gtk theme. ------- Additional Comments From arlo@workthatmouse.com 2000-09-07 09:29:46 ---- Ahhh... For some reason this bug made me think it was all about fonts. Well crud. I could write about 20 bugs about how we don't honor the gtk themeing system where we should/could. I'll take this one back. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2000-09-08 17:07:20 ---- High priority because significant implementation changes may be required depending on the resulting design. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2000-09-08 17:10:00 ---- Doh! Forgot to actually change the priority. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 19:35:00 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com ------- Additional Comments From arlo@workthatmouse.com 2000-12-22 15:44:34 ---- I'll do this as I tar through the UI review I'm doign with bfrank right now. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2001-01-10 17:49:13 ---- Let's review this on-going bug in 1.0.1. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-03-26 11:19:59 ---- SPAAAAAAAAAM! (Jon Allen has taken these components; QA Assigning bugs to him.) ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-04-02 15:18:26 ---- I'd love to see the 20 specific bugs and then we can just close this one. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:33 -------
i'm going to close this as incomplete, right now the only components in nautilus that don't use system theming are the sidebar and icon view. I have filed bugs for all of these. The sidebar is likely to be removed in gnome 2.2 and replaced with a more standard design. Regarding the icon view i have filed bugs covering all issues i can think of.
