How is the development of GTK2 interface coming? (It has issues - pre
20 at least). I would like to use it for look and feel reasons
(customers are like that - appearance matters  ).

There were lot´s of bug fixes recently. I would say 90% of the
programs should work with it now. Just try to recompile your software
for Gtk 2 and give us feedback about how it worked for you.

For using Lazarus IDE with Gtk 2, all crashes were solved, but there
are still some annoying bugs. Nevertheless, it works OK. You can also
use Gtk 1 IDE to produce Gtk 2 software. If you don´t know how, just
ask.

I rebuilt the ide for gtk2 and set compiler options for a project to
gtk2.

Several things. The ide forms (compiler options) aligns controls
incorrectly. The compiled ap miscreates/draws some controls (like the
dateedit on misc loses its button when placed on a page or panel).

I rebuilt the ide back to gtk. Returned the compiler option for the ap
to gtk and built it successfully. As a test (after reading the above
post) I at this point reset the compiler option for that ap to gtk2
and attempted to rebuild and it generated a stream error on a form.

This is FC5 (updated) and lazarus 20.


I havent looked too closely yet.

(a package referenced in your bugzilla area)
