Full Version: Skype and GTK support
Skype Community > English > Linux

Hi. I was just wondering if there are any plans in the future to release Skype for Linux with GTK support. I am using Skype on FC3 (Gnome) and I am soooo happy with it. The only thing that is bugging me is the size of the window. I know that I could probably instal the Qt utility to tweak it but a native GTK Skype will be nice. Just a thought..

To reduce size of Skype windows, start shoosing an appropriate theme for QT (if you have Skype with QT built in, you can't do this, but if you installed complete QT, you can do some configurations with qtconfig)

Thanks for a quick reply. I really appreciate the time and money Skype developers put in this project. I just thought that it would be good idea since a lot of skype users are complaining about the size of the main window (including me). My desktop is set for 1024x768 (max of my LCD screen) and skype is so BIG if compared to the same resolution in WinXP. I know it is not a functional issue but it would be nice if it has higher priority... Thanks anyway.
