[Gajim-devel] Alternative UI support

[Yann Leboulanger]

Hi,

First, which version are you using? We are doing a lot of work on a new 
design. 1.0 version is the start for that, much more is coming.

Now I'm not sure to understand what you want to do exactly. If you want 
to write acompletly new UI (in curses or QT or whatever) then that 
should be possible. "Just" replace all files in src by the ui design you 
want. common folder is independant of GUI.

Explain a bit more what you want to change in the UI, we can be more 
precise.
