GTK3 Porting Checklist

Does not work

• Color labels do not show actual color boxes in common prefs.

• Using gtk_container_add() with GtkBox results in widgets not using full height available to them - gtk_box_pack_start() should be used instead. (Eventually, all GtkBoxes should be migrated to GtkGrid) Fixed so far:
  • compose window textview
  • prefsdialog page content area
  • template preferences dialog

• Folderview uses too bright colors for row backgrounds (alternating light gray and even lighter gray).

• Folderview uses white text for folders without new messages in them, instead of black. Maybe related to bug #3880.

• GtkCMCList has redrawing issues when mouse scrolling.

• Quicksearch sometimes doesn't display the search type combobox and information button.

• Foldersel dialog doesn't show alternating colors in the folder list.

• Fancy doesn't work, hangs indefinitely in webkit_web_view_new().

• Messageview doesn't show Mimeview with body part icons on the right.

• Vcalendar week/month views do not work, debug messages look like a new Claws Mail instance is trying to start when trying to display them.

• Network log window minimal requested size is too large. Same for Mainwindow.

• About window won't shrink back if you increase its width. Opened https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793407 for that.

Works, but is ugly

• GtkSpinButton is too wide with the -/+ buttons being large and next to each other, instead of small and one above another like in GTK2.

Deprecated API

• GtkHBox, GtkVBox, GtkTable -> GtkGrid

• Alertpanel needs to be rewritten to not use GTK_STOCK_*, but GtkIconTheme and named icons.
