Hello all,
We're (over-)due for a new release (which will be gretl 1.10.2) but
before doing that I'd appreciate hearing any feedback about some
innovations in our packages for Windows and OS X:
* Windows: I've added the option of using the "Clearlooks" GTK theme
on Windows: find it under /Tools/Preferences/General. It doesn't look
as Windows-y as the default but some people might find it clearer in
some respects, particularly in regard to the appearance of selected
text and selected rows in some of the gretl windows. This is in the
Windows snapshots.
* OS X: I've built a version of the quartz package using clang as
cross-compiler, and this has enabled me to add the "wxt" terminal to
the gnuplot that we package with gretl. This means that you can now
manipulate 3D plots with the mouse on OS X. (The Mac-specific "aqua"
terminal is still there if you want it, but it doesn't support this
sort of interaction.) This is in the special snapshot at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl-quartz-clang....
(Example of 3D plot: open Ramanathan data file data4-3; go to
/View/Graph specified vars/3D plot; select gnp for x-axis, intrate for
y-axis and housing for z-axis. Hold mouse button 1 down to rotate the
plot.)
I'm particularly on the lookout for any bad side effects of these
changes.
