Use Gtk3 instead of Gtk2

[bilelmoussaoui]

Gtk2 is old and ugly! Using Gtk3 will provide better experience for the user!
I would like to contribute and use Gtk3 with Python3 instead of Gtk2 with Python2.7 also moving from gconf to dconf which will fix other issues too :)

I'm open to this, but I think the gconf to dconf transition (Issue #34) should be a separate pull request, and is higher priority. Does @Kilian have anything to say about your proposed Python2/Gtk2 to Python3/Gtk3 transition?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Here's the current widget ;) It's storing the data on dconf instead of gconf.

[Kilian]

I think gconf -> dconf is best done separately.

With regard to going from py2/gtk2 to py3/gtk3: I'm more than fine with that (thought it's not an urgent thing: It's nice to have). Hopefully it will not need too much change in the "business logic". We need to check if the python indicator library we use still works, or if we need to switch that out as well.

[bilelmoussaoui]

It still works ;)

[bilelmoussaoui]

Anyway, i've done with this! It works perfectly i've also added some new stuff! Translations using gettext, appdata file(to show the information about the application indicator in any application store on linux). Build using meson instead of the default installation method, Gtk2 to Gtk3 and GConf to DConf ;)
As Ubuntu does not support client side decoration, i've also added a different settings widget based on Gtk.Notebook instead of Gtk.Stack & Gtk.StackSwitcher ;)
I will create a PR tomorrow once i'm sure that everything works perfectly! I've also fixed #34 and #26

[Kilian]

that sounds excellent! :)

@bil-elmoussaoui, any news on that pull request? ;)

[bilelmoussaoui]

@ntc2 Sorry for the delay, i was a little busy those last days. It will be ready before this weekend

[burningalchemist]

@bil-elmoussaoui any updates regarding the pull request? :)

[benmccann]

@bil-elmoussaoui would you be able to send the PR for this?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Sorry guys for the long long delay. I was super busy, and i'm preparing some finals to pass in August/September.
The code isn't fully ready yet. I can either share it here or if you guys are patient enough, i can clean it a bit and make everything works in the next few weeks and submit a PR

[ntc2]

@bil-elmoussaoui: how about you submit your current code now as a PR, with the expectation that you will clean it up during the next few weeks? That way we can take a look sooner and try it out.

@bilelmoussaoui Hi. Are you still working on this as in 2018?

[ntc2]

@bilelmoussaoui : how about you submit the code now as a PR, in whatever form it's in, with no expectations at all ;) We can take care of fixing it up and merging it.

Thanks to @LaBatata101, fluxgui has been ported to Python 3 and GTK+ 3 in #112.
