[Linux client] [Offline version] Move to GTK3 #891

Open JotaRandom opened 5 years ago

JotaRandom commented 5 years ago

Bug description Curently if I'm right (and my compilation too) Piskel offline for linux is using GTK2 wich is on maintenance mode, it will be cool and more proffing to move to GTK3 (or plain go for GTK4 if GTK3 take too long to port) since there are already some plans to drop GTK2 and even the smaller project more to avoid that.

Environment details

operating system: linux (Arch linux present)
browser (or offline application version): offline 0.15.0-1 (compiled from source)

Hi,

I think piskel offline is using node-webkit, if maintainer is interested I could try a port to electron (https://electronjs.org/) witch I think is more stable and has better support.

it's already running in electron, when bundled with gdevelop :)

you can have a look at the bundling code at gdevelop's git
