Hi, I am considering writing a picture frame application. Normally of course the frame displays the pictures, but it would be nice if one can also remotely configure the frame (e.g. to remotely configure granny's frame). That is where Wt becomes interesting. However, if I go that way it is of course nice to keep the remote and local UI the same, so the device could locally also display the Wt UI (I am considering midori, a webkit based browser, for the device). But that brought me to the following: wouldn't it then be nice to use the web browser (in full screen mode, so using F11) also for displaying the pictures itself. That would allow me also to start a slideshow on my computer monitor.
However, I am a Wt n00b (but I have a decent amount of programming experience). Therefore I would to solicit opinions on this project. Some questions that pop up: Is this feasible/recommendable ? Any ideas on how to structure this/get this started? Is there a good way to write the UI in a fairly resolution independent way (e.g. so controls appear centered independent of the resolution of the screen and not e.g. centered on the frame and at the left part of the screen on a computer monitor)? I guess using a timer it will be possible to create an animation. But is it also possible to create animation effects (like sliding in the next picture etc). And probably there are a lot of other issues that I haven't thought of yet. Any feedback, support, advice, ... is highly appreciated. Frans. PS: just to make sure: I guess this will become an open source project (haven't really thought about how to arrange that part yet). Definitely my activity is not part of the development of a commercial project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
