gtk-engines 2.7.0 [unstable]

Just made the first development release in the 2.7.x development cycle of gtk-engines, which will eventually result in the 2.8 release. Lots of work has been going on to convert the engines to using cairo. See the links below for where you can grab your copy for testing purposes only! Please please report bugs and problems to bugzilla. Without your help, we will not be able to get this done and tested well enough in time for GNOME 2.14.

gtk-engines is in need of extra helpers as there is still lots of work to do in converting the engines to use cairo. If you would like to help in the development of gtk-engines, please contact me.

  1. Just tested the new Clearlooks… while it looks great, it completly crashed my computer after about 2 minutes when opening the gtk filechooser. Hope this will get stable soon =)
