Oops, if it wasn't container.cpp it was parent.cpp; I forget which file right now
Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention about documentation: the nature of this project requires me to balance what I can get behaving identically across platforms, what I can guarantee about behavior across…
It does this for "Releases", but not for entire projects. And if someone starts browsing files, then you'd have to worry about what that status is at the commit for the file you are reading; this will vary based on how…
Except that would make uiPi a long double, whereas every drawing API in libui just takes a double. Now as to whether the drawing APIs should use long double instead of double, I don't know; I will say that both cairo…
Also the design of uiGrid was directly based on that of GtkGrid.
I don't know, but I do know I'm in the middle of making sure any non-static symbol name in libui either has a prefix of ui[capital letter] or uipriv[capital letter] to at least ameliorate this madness.
I assume you are using the Windows version. The slowness is a bug that I have to fix; there are several issues about it, and a few ideas of how to fix it. You can comment out some code in container.cpp if you want to…
I do intend on this being a serious offering; it just wasn't an offering I was ready to make yet when people jumped on it. What have people not yet figured out about cross-platform graphics? If we knew exactly what was…
Judging from the comments here, it appears I have completely failed at properly getting across just how early this thing is in development. I've since updated my README with a status report. As for documentation, that…
Also (for the benefit of the rest of HN) s/as/but/ — I had problems on Windows, and someone is proposing a solution I just need to merge in once the mega-PR that added it and a bunch of other things are split into more…
No, the data grid has problems on Windows, as that code is being contributed by someone else. I already have it on macOS and Linux, and have for years now... Hopefully soon the Windows code will be merged in and we can…
libui only wraps around GTK+ on Unix systems. On Windows, it uses the native Windows API directly. GLib is a utility library; it provides things like container types, filesystem access, networking utilities, threads,…
Just a quick note: I will now be putting announcements and updates on the README.
That's planned, yes. (I have to do it anyway, because in most cases it's the print dialog that gives you the printer device cntext...) This is also why it's uiDrawContext, not uiAreaDrawContext.
Benjamin Otte recently added uxtheme.dll support to the CSS engine and I've already seen a few screenshots of the win32 theme using it to okay effect. I wrote a patch to add OS X cursor support to GDK last year and it…
What trouble?
I'm now willing to try callbacks because I have no idea anymore. http://andlabs.lostsig.com/blog/2014/06/27/61/my-ui-package-... What do you all think of this design?
A bunch of people have commented on this blog post wearing me away from this new design. To their credit, yes, things do get unwieldy fast... but now I'm not sure where I want to take things as far as event handling is…
Actually OS X is the only system that guarantees application-modal dialog boxes stay always on top; it's the other platforms that I would need to worry about.
Note: since writing that article I have now started, and am now mostly finished with, this rewrite, having only one last ink to work on... dialog boxes. This was always a big disaster ecause every OS has a wildly…
If I recall correctly, the point of Singularity wasn't to have a platform base where all programming languages shared the same infrastructure, but rather to have an operating system that ran (almost) entirely in…

Existing GTK+ bindings require very recent versions of GTK+, which, while they provide some useful things, fail backwards-compatibility tests pretty hard, especially on distributions like Ubuntu. That being said, I do…
Doing it in another language would probably require rewriting the entirety of LibreOffice, which is a very massive project with code spanning at least a decade, if not more. They recently switched away from a…
What random formatting do you mean, other than what go fmt would produce? What unidiomatic naming conventions? I thought I removed all the dead code... which ones do you still see? What suggestions can you make about…
