## Why a new Manjaro Welcome Screen ?
|
|
|
|
Manjaro-hello is widely inspired by [manjaro-welcome](https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-welcome). Manjaro-welcome has several defects, some of which are inherited from the technologies used:
|
|
- It is based on Gtk3 but because of the use of the old Python binding of Webkit, it is blocked on gtk2.
|
|
- The old old Python binding of Webkit has many serious security holes.
|
|
- Content of the app is displayed with web technologies. This makes the soft slower and complicates its evolution.
|
|
- Can't know if each link will be open in an external browser or in app.
|
|
|
|
For all this reasons, we have chosen to build a new software from scratch but keeping the original structure.
|
|
|
|
Currently, manjaro-hello has all the major features of manjaro-welcome plus a translation system.
|
|
- Interface is translated using gettext and po files. (po/)
|
|
- Pages are translated using differents files. (data/pages)
|
|
|
|
## What goals ?
|
|
|
|
The goal of the project is to build a powerful welcome screen who welcome the new user and help him to discover our favorite distribution :).
|
|
|
|
## Technologies

|
|
|
