This is the wiki page for the "GTK+ for OLPC" project, as a "Summer of Code" project. The student is Manu Cornet, mentor is Federico Mena-Quintero.
Various enchancements
Cursor blinking
I began with this (probably quite simple to do). The purpose is to let the cursor blink for a few seconds, then just stay on and stop blinking (affects GtkEntry and GtkTextView).
This is done by :
- Adding an XSetting called "gtk-cursor-blink-lifetime", which defaults to 5 seconds.
- Adding a timeout with the corresponding lifetime each time the code asks the cursor to begin blinking. When the timeout is over, the cursor stays on.
A first version of the patch (both for GtkEntry and GtkTreeView) is available [here http://www.manucornet.net/olpc/blink_lifetime.diff].
Simulation Tools
I need to ask Matthew Allum about "Xephyr" and possibly other tools (developed at first for Nokia).
GTK+ theme engine
I'll probably begin by searching whether there's an existing theme close to what we want, and I can start from there.
