SWT?

Hi,

this screenshot: http://sweethome3d.sourceforge.net/images/SweetHome3DLinux.png
shows SweetHome3D with a GTK-GUI. But when I start the application it just uses this ugly java-GUI (AWT/SWING?)

Is there a way to get the GTK-GUI?

Re: SWT?

Maybe is your version of JRE, at jre 1.5 and 1.6 the GUI is more "native" as you see.

Re: SWT?

But the JRE comes bundled with SweetHome3D and it is version 1.6.

I'm not only asking this because of the optics but because SweetHome3D is really slow on my computer and I was hoping that another gui would be a bit more faster.

Re: SWT?

A non-Java GUI would be better... and GTK is well used and much faster. Maybe a request could be put out for a person that knows how to work with GTK to have them recreate Sweet Home to use GTK (and as reference to the use of GTK - GIMP and Blender both use GTK - both also use Python Scripting.)

The use of GTK would also negate the need to manually edit colors as .mtl files could then be included with the .obj files (as the .mtl file is automatically created by most exporters)

Re: SWT?

If a GTK version were made, I hope that the requirements will consider old libraries too. I have GTK 2.8.3 and Python 2.4 and since the software community has moved to requiring GTK 2.10+, etc., I can't get any updates nor new apps.

Re: SWT?

The MVC architecture of Sweet Home 3D allows to replace AWT/Swing by SWT without programming again all its model and its controller. Sweet Home 3D under SWT was even available in its early versions until 0.7 ; please read the end of my message http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=241470#241470 for more information.
But if a Swing application's look and feel isn't correct under some Linux distributions, you should rather complain to Sun than think rewrite it with SWT. Maybe the required changes aren't that big.

Lack of support for .mtl files has nothing to do with Java, as Java 3D supports them. Sweet Home 3D should support them in the next version.
