It's ok for me if it's done by extending the current box-type mechanism, with new "themes" implemented by dl-oading. That way it would be very simple, more streamlined than now (no hardcoded themes) and someone could easily implement a pixmap engine, much like GTK 1.x did. Implementing a dl system: ok for #6, Pixmap engine: IMHO, not before 8, or before a decent layout engine that takes into account box-type parameters (borders, etc). > 8: the API should be modernized to support signaling much needed. > 9: FLUID3 and new FLTK3 features should make it really easy to rapidly > create a commercialy viable app: > 9a: higher level API for applications, documents, actions, undo, and > states > 9b: quick assembly in FLUID > 9c: full internationalisation with FLUID > 9d: FLUID cooperation with common IDEs You mean we can't build commercially viable apps right now? ;) > Or on a much lower level: I want a snappy GUI library to easily write > apps that look and feel great on every platform. I dream of an FLTK2 style api which works like wxWindows. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
