I would like to see a GTK-WIMP type deal for this. There was another GTK project that does something like it.

Neat, the GIMP looks more professional. The menubar looks 100% native. A theme will be sweet, but using GTK apps with a native Mac menubar is a Good Thing. The GIMP is redesigning their UI (a much welcome change)…

But this port is better focused on useful hacks like this menubar. I’m saving for a Mac (probably MacBook Pro… or xMac if it ever happens), and will help in some way to the GTK-to-Aqua port (at least in bug testing).

Thanks for this useful menubar port!

All kinds of awesome. This Will Be The Year Of The Linux Desktop (On Mac OS X).(TM)

With a native theme they can be made to look more aqua like. The screenshot/movie shows Gimp running with the default GTK+ theme.

That’s outside of the actual port though and we will work on a native theme as well (or if someone else does :).

Nice. I’d kind of expected the widgets to look more Aqua-like in a native gtk+ port though, it still just looks like a fugly X app :/
