[Bug 830901] Re: [FFE] Switch default UI from gtk2 to gtk3

 

We discussed that in #u-release; it is a fairly large and risky change,
but as we can revert it with a single line change (flip the default in
the .desktop file), let's try this for beta-1, and revert if it causes
too many regressions.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  [FFE] Switch default UI from gtk2 to gtk3

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a request to change the default UI of software-center from
  gtk2 to gtk3.

  The gtk3 version is part of the software-center package since version
  4.1.12 and people can (and do) launch it via the software-center-gtk3
  commandline switch. I want to make it default in the desktop file now
  as well.

  Technically all the features are already in oneiric and its "just" a UI change, but because its a pretty visible change 
  I still wanted to ensure that this is approved by the release team and on the radar.

  Thanks!
   Michael
