Just merged into lp:synapse-project something like 11.000 lines of diff :)
Whoa, that was a huge merge!

Here a few screenshot, and below a little changelog!

Synapse 0.2.8 Synapse 0.2.8 Synapse 0.2.8 Synapse 0.2.8

The changelog:

  • UI has been complete rewritten
    Yes, I had to rewrite all themes, and that’s why..
  • No more “Virgilio” or “Dual” theme (I just don’t have enough time to rewrite them)
    If you don’t like new themes and want back “Virgilio” or “Dual” just say it in comments
    Edit: Virgilio theme is back :)
  • A new theme is here: Side Doish (1st and 4th screenshot)
  • Synapse is now (like the title said) faster and snappier then before :)
  • I’ve implemented the base support for complex actions like
    - “myfile.ext -> send in chat to -> Friend in chat” or
    - “myfile.ext -> rename to -> blablabla.ext2″
  • Pidgin plugin is ready, but it’s not included at the moment
  • If you have a long description (like a file path) the description will animate to show you all the text
  • No more glitches with Chinese characters
  • IBus input should be fixed now

Lot of things huh?
And I have a good news for all GTK theme authors!
Synapse can now be styled from gtkrc, and you can tweak basically everything:

  • Title / Description / Category selector text sizes (minimal and maximum)
  • Icon Sizes
  • Synapse width
  • Colors (obviously)

Now you can find this in the Synapse Bleeding Edge ppa, testing and bug reports are welcome!
If you simply want a stable and working Synapse, just use the current stable release! :)

More info coming later tomorrow :) (with theming documentation)
Synapse 0.2.8 will come in 1 or 2 month (yep, slowly) but it’ll be full of new features!
Stay tuned and let me know your opinions!
