| If i use Kubuntu with gnome all max gui gadgets are not in the gnome theme ? Why ? |
| ||
| Because it uses FLTK and not the gnome GUI (QT if I'm not wrong). Linux has no standardized GUI system like Windows and OSX, it depends on the used window manager, thats why. |
| ||
| If you are using Linux, I recommend using IGlass. Then it will look the same on Linux no matter what GUI system you are using. |
| ||
| (QT if I'm not wrong) Just figured I'd correct you here -- it uses Gtk. Qt is used by KDE. If you are using Linux, I recommend using IGlass. Telling that to the guy who made IGlass? ;) |
| ||
| ah ok. I never was really interested in which one was used in XandrOS to tell the truth. As long as it works ;-) I only know that I had to download the FLTK dev on any distri I tried so far ... :-) |

| Telling that to the guy who made IGlass? ;) Don't you love the irony? |

| Kindof makes you wonder why he's not using his GUI, really. |
| ||
| Kindof makes you wonder why he's not using his GUI, really. err maybe coz he wants to use the system gui. |
| ||
| Yeah but linux does not have "one" as it is a hacker "everyone does it on his own way" system ;-) This intelligent approach only exists on Windows and OSX |
| ||
| Brice Manuel : Lol :)))))your right my friend :) Yes i want just test max gui to see features :) |
| ||
| err maybe coz he wants to use the system gui. Nobody should ever want to use FLTK. |
| ||
| Filax get back to work on iGlass and that skinpack of yours!! :) :) :) |
| ||
| Noel: theoretical you are right ... the Problem is that KDE and Gnome users would never want to see the concurring GUI system as well and FLTK at least is "neutral" ;-) Beside that the license of the others (at least QT) isn't suited for BRL license type. |
| ||
| My skin pack ? it was a long time that is ready :) But for the linux GUI look, i'm a little bit desapointed :( |
| ||
| I really dont understand this "fltk looks ugly" myth thats usualy cursaded by ppl to lazy to make their own theme... I have never heard anyone say the thunderbird email client looks ugly and its gui kit looks idential to the default fltk theme. |
