Thanks to Intel for choosing Clutter as preferred testing platform for Wayland. GTK+ is next.

Microsoft, Nokia, Digia or some other commercial software dudes may deal with the Qt stuff. LOL.

in the video you can see a chrome icon on the wayland panel

does this mean they are working on it or that it runs on WL???

[Hirager]

Who knows? Considering that Wayland protocol supports X11, it may mean literally everything. My bet is that Chrome was used to test the compatibility.

This screenshot shows chrome running in wayland using the Aura window manager. Aura is -according to the webernets- a WM that will be used in Chrome OS.

What runs through what (ie X on WL etc) and if Aura supports WL i have no idea.

What does MX stand for? (He said he's working on Gtk & MX now).

It seems you're anti Qt troll. Qt is working on Wayland if you're not aware. Gtk is pure crap compared to Qt.

Thanks, I did google for "MX" but it issued a lot of useless stuff.

For someone who uses another person for being a troll, you seemed to have descended below civil discourse as well and IMO in a worse way. GTK is a Free and open source software toolkit, developed together by several vendors and volunteers, requires no copyright assignment to a single vendor and is the foundation for several different desktop environments and applications. Even if you value Qt a whole lot more, competition and diversity of approaches is valuable. Let's not engage in trash talking.
