Bug Description

Debian (and probably Ubuntu) will soon drop libgnome-applet-2. The new version of libgnome-applet has a different API and hence, l-m-a needs to be ported.

Jean-Yves, are you planning to do that?

Here are some guides:

I manged to port the applet enough so that all functionality sees to be present. The optics are not perfect yet, mostly because it was not clear to me how to achieve the intended effects with GtkStyleContext and cairo instead of GtkStyle and GDK. Any help would be appreciated.

I have finished the port enough so that the result looks quite similar to the released version, and uploaded it to Debian. I’m not using it “in production yet” while I am waiting for other applets to be ported.

In src/lm-color-generator.c there is some functionality not fully working yet, patches accepted.
