[jitsi-dev] Ugly Layout on Debian

#1

Hey

While I looked at the spellcheck stuff, I noticed GTK warnings and the ugly
layout that other also mentioned before. Installing the package
"gtk2-engines-pixbuf" solves the warning and Jitsi runs with a proper
layout.
According to some Ubuntu bugs [1,2] that package should no longer be needed
for GTK, but apparently it is needed - at least by us or the Java bindings.
-> Should we list gtk2-engines-pixbuf as a dependency for Jitsi?

Yes, we should probably do this indeed.

Java is somewhat weird and often looks really crappy on Linux. At least
on the distribution I'm using (Arch Linux) it uses the butt-ugly default
style. So for those who have this issue, executing the following line
should help a bit (on login would be best).

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=gasp
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'

I assume some distros (Ubuntu) do this by default. Can't comment on the
gtk2-engines-pixbuf issue since there's no such package on Arch.

Regards,
Philipp
