[OLPC-devel] Weekly work summary [8/12]

[Manu Cornet]

Hi !

Here's my weekly report for the "GTK+ Toolkit" project
(git://dev.laptop.org/projects/soc-gtk)

* You'll always find an up-to-date status of the project on the wiki
page (which also has updated screenshots) here:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/GTK_for_OLPC

* Apart from the git repository, you can also find my code here :

Done this week:

* Hacked Xephyr to make it swizzle colors just like the DCON chip
does. See screenshots on the wiki page.

* Finished integrating Federico's widget profiler with my theme
torturer, it now works well on all widgets and provides easy to read
time measure summaries (see screenhots on the wiki as well).

* Began hacking Xephyr to also let it perform antialiasing like the
laptop does (in progress).

* Made a detailed blog entry to let people know what I'm doing :) You
can read it at http://www.manucornet.net/blog/dreamerant/?p=39


Plans for the following weeks:

* Finish coding the antialiasing part.

* Work on the current version of the GTK theme to enhance performance
(now that I have a reliable tool to measure it).

* Figure out how to build sugar on my system (Dapper -- it failed
every time I tried until now).

* Implement missing draw functions of the theme, aim towards Diana's mockups.

Disclaimer (same as last week) : while the program itself ends on
August 21st and I will do the necessary to have achieved a good deal
of work at that date, I have always planned to *not* disappear on
August 22nd :o) The project is really interesting, Federico is a
*great* mentor (hope he still agrees to give me a piece of advice from
time to time after the summer), and the laptop won't be finished at
all. So plan to keep seeing me around working on these problems for
the next few months :)

Cheers,
Manu
