+ + + Make color handling more convenient + +

+ Add some color convenience functions; such as a way to get an + allocated GdkColor from GdkRGB, and export functions from gtkstyle.c + that lighten/darken a given color, and set a color from HSV in + addition to RGB. Also, consider having static variables that contain + preallocated common colors (gtk_blue, gtk_red, etc.), the problem + being colormap issues. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Convenient widget setup + +

+ Make it simpler to set all the basic attributes of a widget. Might + want set_tooltip(), set_accel(), set_color(FOREGROUND, color), + set_min_size() (usize does this, but needs a rename), set_whatsthis(), + etc. set_accel() may not work for all widgets, may need a convenience + API for button and label accelerators specifically. +

+

+ The idea is that it should be easy, out of the box, to set up a widget + with all the nice touches and features the widget really should + have. Users shouldn't need to do their own convenience functions for + this. +

+ + + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Make selections/clipboard more convenient + +

+ Make GtkSelectionData more like the MIME blobs in Swing and Qt. + Consider a GtkClipboard object to simplify cut-and-paste handling. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + + Stock label/icon system + +

+ A system like GnomeStock for getting a standard labels/icons + for menus and toolbars. Should be extensible by themes, and + by libgnomeui. Some work already done on this. +

+ + hp@redhat.com + + + + GtkPixbuf + +

+ gdk-pixbuf is moving to become a GTK+ dependency, a new image-display + widget is thus needed. +

+ + hp@redhat.com + + + + Session Management + +

+ Look in to session management. Consider whether to use + X11R6 SM, or some custom spec shared with KDE. Create + GTK+ API for this. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Online help enhancements + +

+ Look at a small "What's This" popup widget, + and a What's This system in general (this part + could maybe be done for 1.4). A more difficult, probably + a post-1.4 task, is to integrate a very simple little + help browser gizmo into GTK. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Attempt to fix GtkStatusbar + +

+ GtkStatusbar is too inconvenient to use. + The only non-breakage-inducing fix we could + come up with is to permit 0 as a context ID, so you + don't have to use gtk_statusbar_get_context_id(). +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Decruft GtkProgress, GtkProgressbar + +

+ This interface is just a disaster of overcomplexity; + it should pretty much just be set_percentage(), + pulse() (to move during activity mode), and set_text(). + There's no reason that there are two objects, should + just be one interface. Almost all the functions + that currently exist should be deprecated. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Entry validation hooks + +

+ Simple hooks for validation in a GtkEntry. Pretty much just a + "validate" callback which takes a string (current entry contents) and + returns either VALID, INVALID, or COULDBEVALID. Then the + GtkEntry calls this function if it's set, and does the appropriate + UI things. GTK should come with validators for int and float, + see GtkSpinButton where these are already implemented. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + + Dock widget + +

+ Add a widget like GnomeDock (perhaps based on GnomeDock) + that allows people to put rearrangeable toolbars, menubars, etc. + around a central content area. The widget should have hooks for + saving the current positions of the various docked bars. +

+ + gtk-devel-list@redhat.com + + + + Canvas widget + +

+ Figure out how to get GnomeCanvas or a derived work into GTK+ itself. +
