Port your widgets to GTK 4 - Matthias Clasen

Written By GUADEC on Saturday, Aug 01, 2020 | 06:28 AM

 
GTK 4 is almost here; it is time to take a detailed look at what it will take to port your application from GTK 3 to GTK 4. In this talk, we will focus on how writing a custom widget for GTK 4 looks in practice, and hopefully demonstrate that it is easier than ever. This will give us a chance to take a look at the major differences between GTK 3 and 4, in the areas of rendering, layout, and input. There will be concrete examples, and live demos. Matthias is a manager in the desktop team at Red Hat. He has been involved in GNOME for a long time, currently as a member of the release team. He is one of the maintainers of GTK.
