openSUSE:GTK Revamp
openSUSE, especially YaST, needs better integration with GTK and GNOME environments through libyui-gtk.
This page will be used to discuss different ideas and designs, and users should attach mockups where appropriate.
Changes by myself (Ikey Doherty) will be found in my repo fork:
Timeline:
Works will begin around the 15th of February 2014 due to work commitments and other projects
Initial thoughts:
- Move to a single document interface - fluid workflow in one window for tools such as one-click
- Use GtkHeaderBar in all applications for GNOME
- Integrate seamlessly with GNOME - tools should follow same designs as gnome-control-center, gnome-initial-setup, etc.
- Polkit style permissions, so Yast-GTK can be launched without sudo/root and only escalate when needed?
