| Wondering where it is?
Well I'm busy with life, but I found some time to make a Win32/GTK build of Lgi, which Scribe uses as a cross platform layer. The purpose of this is to work on getting a stable build of Scribe using GTK on a platform that I actually use. It seems I have no time to boot into Linux these days so if I had a windows port then at least I'd be 90% the way there in terms of functionality and it'd just be tweaking things for GTK/Linux rather than writing a GTK port from scratch. I very much doubt I'd ever release a GTK/Win32 build of Scribe as it's a bit pointless considering the native port is a) smaller, b) faster and c) better.
So yeah, I'll work on that... it's not dead.
Update: I have a working build of Lgi/Gtk2/Win32 but I fail to understand the Gtk layout internals enough to position widgets wherever I want. The allocation vs request stuff is doing my head in. I can get all the widgets into the right place by setting their size but then I can't resize the window any smaller than the initial size which isn't what I want. Basically I want something like the GtkFixed container that I can resize down to 1x1 if I have to. Yeah basically I want Gtk to butt out and let me put my widgets where I want using all my own layout. "Good luck with that" I hear the chorus from the peanut gallery ;)
