Hi,
here are new Windows installers for testing. They are built from GIT master and this time against GTK3.
There are two reasons for this:
- test Geany+GTK3 more on Windows
- there seems to be a bug in GTK2 on Windows with that very high
DPI/resolutions: on text input widgets (GTK ones and the Scintilla widget) the mouse cursor gets very tiny. This doesn't happen with GTK3. Jiří showed me the bug and he knows more about the details.
Hi Enrico,
nice - the mouse problem is solved in Gtk 3 for me but I think not so many users have an HiDPI screen so it's not so important. And if there are some more important problems with Gtk 3, better to stick with Gtk 2 for now.
I never had any mouse-related problems with GTK2, for what it's worth. I have 4k monitor on Win10.
Some problems I noticed with the Gtk 3 build:
- any file dialog like File->Open, Project->open, File->Save as etc.
crashes Geany on my machine
Is that with native or GTK3 dialogs?
- there's a bit strange shadow around the tooltips - see the attached
screenshot
- the Adwaita theme is just ugly (on any platform). Is there any Windows
native-like theme for Gtk 3 (the one used for Gtk 2 builds is pretty good in this respect).
Yeah, +1, especially about Adwaita. It's so ugly I wouldn't even use Geany on Windows anymore if I was stuck with that. I mentioned some of the same in my mail about my installer generator script TODO[0].
I'm guessing the file dialog crash is a GTK+ bug related to architecture (sizeof(long) or such), since it seems to only happens on 64-bit. I think Thomas might have done some research on that issue.
Cheers, Matthew Brush
