Dropbox for i3

tzoi516 · 2014-11-11 16:47:26

I've tried AUR options, and searched the forums.

Is there a Dropbox GUI client that works with i3 and doesn't need additional files required by Gnome or KDE?

I use the dropbox right out of the AUR in i3 and it works fine. Tray icon and all.

It needs gtk2 but I consider that more of a toolkit than a piece of Gnome - although I guess maybe that depends on your point of view.

OK, thanks.

~~Please consider revising your title to say something meaningful.~~

As noted above, gtk is just a toolkit. Personallly I'm a bit of a minority in my distaste for toolkits, but I don't expect to find many gui applications that don't depend on one. In fact most programs I use that don't depend on a toolkit are often accused of not having a gui (e.g., mpv). If you want 'widgets' like buttons, text boxes, icons, and the like, then you want a tool kit. My distaste for toolkits is not because there are better ways to use widgets - I just don't like widgets.

The "burning church" part is not relevant to the discussion at all, and needlessly offensive.

I have no intent to offend - so I removed it. However it is a common computer science / programming quote. Those who work so hard to take offense at the mundane do more to harm a community than those who unintentionally offend. But I'll leave it at that and let this thread remain as pious as others would prefer.
