[Pgui-devel] Anybody using svgagl?

2001-04-20 Thread Micah Dowty
Just wondering if anybody is using the svgagl driver. (for SVGAlib with cards that don't support linear modes) I'm temporarily removing it so I don't have to update it to the new video interface because I don't know of anyone actually using it. If there is anyone hat needs it, I'll take a smal

I like it! My idea for pgl (PicoGUI launcher) had been to make it use 'plugins' compiled in, for things like a toolbar, root menu, clock, battery meter, etc. A programming interface like this would also allow programs to embed themselves in others, for things like screensaver previews or even s

Why not make it possible for some container objects (e.g. toolbar) to become public (with a name) and have a function to find a named object and return its handle ? This way, the finder could create the taskbar as public, and spawned apps could create and manipulate indicators (canevas, buttons, e

Oops, forgot one PicoGUI has it in size hands down. I am able to run it and the blackout app from a floppy with framebuffer support and gpm mouse. (Compiled static both the app and the server. (Waiting patiently for a picoGUI native /dev/ps2 mouse input driver. It'll happen someday.) ---

as a user of both, I would say that picoGUI has theme support and built in WM. microwindows is a bit further along only because there are more bodies working on it, (Micah and the rest of the developers here are phenomenal in how fast they implement things out of thin air.) I have been reviewing b

Hello all, first, congratulation to everybody who contributed, and very special thanks to Micah for this tremendous achievement. PicoGUI will be (after the linearN drivers are optimized) the only flexible GUI system able to run with acceptable perfs on little configurations such as a 16MHz Dra
