We could simplify it to be --with-gtk/--without-gtk and --with-qt/--without-qt and just use the latest version of GTK on the system (3.x, if available, otherwise 2.x) when requested. The default could remain to make a Qt and GTK build and if the user didn't want GTK anymore, just pass --without-gtk to the configure script.I have both Gtk3 and Gtk2 installed but build with Gtk2. The Gtk3 UI just looks horrible to me (and, no, I'm not one who really cares about how things look but, well, I have a choice).Could you please share a screenshot about what you find horrible in GTK3? I'm using the Debian package which looks quite good to me and I managed to get the OS X version to be nice as well:(I generally build on Fedora though what I push to my users is for RHEL/CentOS.) I think what really did it for me was the Decode-As window: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201307/msg00198.html I can (still) barely tell which tab I'm on.Yes, the active and inactive tabs look almost the same, because there is no theme installed for GTK+ and the default look was pretty ugly. Adwaita became the built-in standard theme from GTK+3.14 thus the default look should change to something similar to what I attached on every system.
That certainly looks usable (a big improvement from what's there now). :-) I guess it's just a question of when I upgrade to a Fedora version with the new Gtk3.
http://balintreczey.hu/blog/beautiful-wireshark-on-os-x-using-homebrew-and-gtk3quartz/Looking at it more I think another thing that bothers me even on the home page is that the (disabled - because in my build environment I don't have capture privs) "start capture now" icon is green (but with a different color background) rather than, as in the Gtk2 or Qt versions, well, not green at all.I can hardly fix that in GTK+3, it is the the icon shipped with Wireshark. :-)
Hmm it works well with Gtk2 though: I get a nice green icon when I can capture and a nice gray icon (with the same shape) when I can't capture.
Do you mean for Gtk3 we need to ship 2 icons (one for enabled and one for disabled) or are we disabling the icons the wrong way [in Gtk3]?
