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. I need to do this for GtkEntry and GtkTextview.

A first version of the GtkEntry patch is available [here http://www.manucornet.net/olpc/gtkentry_add_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.
