When will this be fixed?
I am still on v1.9.5 because of this.

I am not a programmer. Other Windows programs don't have this problem.

Can't the #gajim developer not use GTK?

@Gυιdσ Kσѕтσиѕ GTK+ is the graphical toolkit that Gajim is based on. For starters, replacing the graphical toolkit would require throwing away the entire GUI and rewriting it from scratch.

Besides, what should replace GTK+? Gajim is not a native Windows application, nor is Gajim a Windows-only application. It's also available for e.g. Linux. It can't be rewritten with a native Windows GUI. That'd sacrifice Linux compatibility. And I wouldn't wonder if Gajim had more Linux users than Windows users.

Lastly, from the point of view of a Linux and XMPP veteran, GTK+ defines what Gajim is. Replace the graphical toolkit, and Gajim is no longer Gajim.
