[Bug 1297688] Re: Moving away from Win API to Multiplatform

 

Oh, and to add something possibly constructive: I know little about
https://docs.enlightenment.org/stable/elementary/ - but it's another
option. It doesn't seem to be that well-documented on Stackexchange,
etc. It does have the general widgets and containers one expects:
https://docs.enlightenment.org/stable/elementary/widgetslist.html and
https://docs.enlightenment.org/stable/elementary/containerslist.html

It also supports Wayland, at least; see
https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/wayland/ and
https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/enlightenment_standalone_wayland_compositor/attachments/slides/462/export/events/attachments/enlightenment_standalone_wayland_compositor/slides/462/Enlightenment_Wayland_Compositor.pdf
for details, and in general, seems quite actively maintained.

For all this, it could have a lot of the same issues as GTK+ for all I
know (it doesn't really have an independent existence as a project
outside of Enlightenment, just as GTK+ doesn't these days outside
GNOME), etc. I hadn't been aware of it, and perhaps other people
weren't, either. It doesn't show up in the usual lists-of-widget-
toolkits, but I think worth being aware of.

Title:
  Moving away from Win API to Multiplatform

Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  Isnt it time to move away from Win API to multi-platform so every
  platform can enjoy the vanilla client without using mods.

  Currently im running DC++ under Wine and there are alot of missing
  features under Wine since they are windows specific and not working
  proper under Wine and that got me thinking why..

  More and more are moving away from Windows these days since the
  introduction of Windows 8 to other platforms and the development of
  LinuxDC++ seems really low more dead to be fair so why not fill the
  void with small steps towards true multi-platform.

  and without starting to talk about what windows manager to use etc im
  more or less talking about core features but if i can suggest
  something that seems ok, its QT5 i truly hope this feature request at
  least gets some proper consideration and discussion at the top level.
