Wayland Running Various GTK Applications

[Darxus]

Why are these demos always with disabled theming? Is it not yet possible possible with Wayland or do the demonstrators just not care?

I noticed in recent testing of Ubuntu Precise packaging that theming started working on its own.

Because I just haven't taken the time to look into how to do it. By all means enlighten me, and I'll give it a try in my next video.

anyway if there is a way to make the X dependent apps work without the app maintainers having to do something (ie start X client automatically after the user clicks on them) and once we get the common apps running i think it will become popular.

This already works in XWayland. It listens for any network calls on the X protocol, and automatically starts X and passes the app to it.

Wayland is still in heavy development, and the current adoption rate is 0.
I just pray that the mistakes of KDE4 and PulseAudio won't be repeated by distro packagers...

i know my previous post was wrong in a way

i should have rephrased my previous comment into something like "if _ insert random apps_ work, people will start to use it" but i was lazy and didn't do it

Gnome-settings-manager is not necessary to use a gtk+ theme. It's merely bad design by Ubuntu to do it that way.

I don't mean window decorations. I'm wondering about the widget theme.

I THINK that has something to do with the fact gnome-settings-manger isn't running... I'm not sure if it even runs on Wayland yet...

sadly many of the important apps don't work

once Libre, Browsers and media players start working i think we ll see greater adoption of WL

great work from the guy that made the video

why would there be any themes installed, or configured?

only enlightenment has presented something with decorations
