Resuscitating this old thread... It's now done and committed to SVN. If there are any issues with it, or ideas of things to potentially add, now might be a good time. As discussed previously, I've taken the opportunity to also modify the tags used by the theme, using <success> and <failure> tags instead of the enum's <0> and <1> tags. I think it makes it much clearer this way. However, I found a bug in edje's style handling and I filed a new ticket about it here : http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/ticket/1198
I also fixed a small 'bug' with usage of snprintf which was : snprintf(s, strlen(t->status_text)+5, "%s<br/>", t->status_text); Making it safer this way : snprintf(s, sizeof(buf2)-strlen(buf2), "%s<br/>", t->status_text); (since 's' is a pointer to somwhere within buf2) I think I'll blog about it if that's fine with everyone.. That's it, enjoy :) KaKaRoTo On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 5:09 AM, Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com>wrote: > On Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:00:16 -0500 Youness Alaoui > <kakar...@kakaroto.homelinux.net> said: > > > On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM, Carsten Haitzler > > <ras...@rasterman.com>wrote: > > > > > On Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:16:12 -0500 Youness Alaoui > > > <kakar...@kakaroto.homelinux.net> said: > > > > > > > (FYI: for those who didn't read from IRC, when Carsten realized I > meant > > > to > > > > transform exquisite into a library+tools, and not add a new library > to > > > the > > > > set, he agreed to it). > > > > > > yeah. yet-another-lib was something we really dont need atm - and it's > > > better > > > rolled into an existing one, but since it'd just be a lib provided by > > > exquisite > > > - moving its own functions into that lib and thus providing it for > others > > > to > > > use too - that's not bad. > > > > > > > So I've done it, just finished, but I have a couple of questions : > > > > - what should I use for creating an object? exquisite_object_add, or > > > > exquisite_object_new ?
