GTK+ TTY Port 277

Posted by michael on Tuesday August 26, 2003 @06:36PM from the curses-foiled-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "FootNotes is reporting about what might be the coolest thing since textmode Quake: a curses-based GTK-2.0 port called Cursed GTK. This not only makes it possible to give Gnome the look and feel of Contiki, but also brings many real opportunities, such as remote logins where X forwarding is not possible, or remote logins over very slow modem lines. Screenshots here, here, here and here! Patches for bugs are welcomed by the authors."

Wow.

Here I was thinking that it was utterly impossible to make the GTK file dialogue worse than it already was.

I won't have to bring up X to edit photos in the Gimp!

Yeah; When Delphi 1 came out we were dissapointed to find out it could do not much with all our old turbo-vision applications; we hoped they would be windows-ised.

Well now we can text-ize many!

Cheers, kudos and karma to those who did it!

Huzzah!

I know they were trying to make gtk faster, but this is ridiculous!

Actually yes there was: http://qtconsole.nl.linux.org/ [linux.org]. Pretty amusing thing. I wonder if this wicked mind got inspiration from that joke.

Now I can have a text mode file dialog that loses my default file name too.

Should it be called TUI (TTY-based UI) or CUI (Curses-bases UI, or CLI-based UI)? And how about CWM, CLI-based Window Manager?
On a serious note, is it GPM sensitive?
