Hey folks, more new apps !!
The gtk2.dsl has *finally* been upgraded ! The new file is now called gtk2-0705.dsl
I have posted all the updated apps that work with this new gtk master file in the 'testing' area, along with the gtk2-0705.dsl
So TEST and FEEDBACK !!
Use it the same way as before.. 1. Use myDSL to install gtk2-0705.dsl 2. Run from menu, "Update to GTK2" 3. Read .info file about requirements for app you intend to install 4. Add additional gtk2 app thru myDSL as desired.
I always recommend to have gnu-utils.dsl installed when using gtk2 apps. I have the dsl-dpkg.dsl , along with the gnu-utils.dsl, loading at boottime.
If I receive little in the way of negative feedback here soon, I'll migrate these out of 'testing', and into the gtk2 area quickly.
Here's the scoop... I was able to update a whole slew of libs, to keep up with needed changes to some of the more popular apps, like gaim, etc.. I also upgraded perl to 5.8.7 .. and added many more new files, while keeping the filesize about the same as before. ( 14MB's)
But the BIG difference in the apps is the new upgrades, the resized icons for DSL-1.3.1, and the smaller app sizes ! ( In Preparation for LinuxWorld Expo in August! )
Expect many more app upgrades on these items.. Much easier to do with updated libs without collisions..
Check out these numbers !! ( * indicates NEW versions )

Once I squeeze in the libbonono-ui set, and some gnome libs, I think we'll be able to have many of the other extensions in gtk2 form. ( many gnome apps, gnumeric, etc.. )
Now, back to other extensions already contributed by the userbase.. I have about a dozen to be released shortly..
