This ticket should serve as a kind of meta ticket, to track the efforts needed to bring dino to windows. I have automated the build in #304, so we can put out builds without any problems. From my small assessment there are two high priority that needs a fix before any other work for the windows port can be done: * `is_24h_format` from `helper.vala` crashes dino. From my limited knowledge of GTK, this seems to be ok to crash since there is no gnome-functionality on windows? * Notifications are broken [upstream](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776583). As a possible fix, just disable the notifications on windows, till a proper backend lands in GTK? On the chat there was a discussion if dino should look native, I think it should, but the first priority should be that it does not crash or behaves funny. Then there should be put energy into making dino look native.
