Bug 153601 – [GTK][EFL] Make gtk & efl port use s same media controls code.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Media

[ChangSeok Oh]

In bug 151816, Xabier mentioned his thought on merging mediaControlsGtk.js and mediaControlsBase.js and making gtk & efl port use a same code base, mediaControlsBase.js. This is a follow-up.

Ossy, we were discussing about merging EFL and GTK+ media controls since you are using Base, that is a fork of an earlier version of the Apple ones.

The discussion is under https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151816#c19.

I could take care of the review and such, but since we are changing your look and feel, you might want to say a word :)

I don't have any time nowadays, maybe the others have some opinion about it.

If you don't have issues now, you shouldn't have them after the merge. The only issues might be some icons or things like that, that can be easily solved with CSS or theming.

Anyway, the way to go, IMHO, would be to make the merge directly into, mediaControlsGTK, make GTK+ use only that file instead of Base+GTK and once that is ready, we can rename that into Base and polish any details in EFL. That would allow working only in one port until everything is ready.

EFL port has been removed.
