Yes, so this "welding" makes it possible to replace the vcl implementation of dialogs with an alternative toolkit implementation, namely GTK. The dialogs are already described by the GtkBuilder file format and the translations are already in compatible gettext format so the GTK implementation can use those directly. Non gtk platforms continue to use the vcl implementation with the vcl parser of the GtkBuilder file format which maps them to equivalent vcl widgets, so other platforms should generally remain as they are. Writer's "insert->table dialog", "table->split cells" and "insert->special characters" are some concrete examples of this at the moment. Under GTK you can tell if its a welded dialog because the themeing is, by definition I suppose, fully correct. Stuff like animated checkboxes for example and fade in of entry borders on focus-in now work. Password entries that indicate if the caps lock is on, and the semi-transparent overlay scrollbar are some other indicators that a dialog has been converted over. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
