Hi Micah,
We want to make a 'finder' (Mac) as follows:
- the main app has to contain a toolbar and a background
with img+text buttons.
- when a button is pressed the background must disappear
(but the toolbar has to stay displayed) and let the
graphical place for the launched app (with a vfork).
- we don't want the app to have a panel bar but it
should be closed through a button in the toolbar
that must act as 'back to finder'.
(By the way, I tried the 'disable panel bar' option
of the widget but don't succeed in making it working.
Does it work?)
- and when the app is closed, the background must be
rendered again.
By now, I've been trying to make it by using the followings ideas:
- a toolbar app that 'fork' a child app containing
the background.
- a button pressed in the finder exits it and load
the chosen app.
I have to make this 2 apps to make the finder because
I don't know how to make one app free part of the
graphical place it uses
And that way, the finder is a child process and we
want it to be part of the parent.
We thought about:
- possibility for one app to free the graphical place it takes
- resizing of one app at runtime by the program
Do you have any tips?
Cheers,
Philippe
