[shidai.liu]

Hi guys,

clearlooks in dapper has some new features. I'd like to see them available to breezy. Thanks for backporting.

Yes, at least i also understood that...

Is it posible to backport the new clearlooks engine??
or has it a lot of dependencies that make it difficult to backport??

Thanks a lot guys!

PS: I prefer to update from backports repositories too. But i guess that i can also try to install the .deb from the other forum thread!!!

Whats new?

The new clearlooks has some really nice animations :)

Any slowdowns? And how do we revert back to it if we have any problems?

If it is (and I think it is) clearlooks-cairo, it's actually faster than the current one in breezy.
I've been using it from CVS from quite some time.

Off course, it is still unfinnished. The borders around text boxes are missing, and until recently, it had a big problem with displaying Evolution calendar component. This has been fixed in CVS but I am not sure about Dapper.

Seems that they consider clearlooks engine a lib and by the rule shouldn't be backported. If you want to use the engine, you need to compile yourself.
