congrats @lilactown!
a number of things I did as part of the above endeavor:
• created a general disabled and invalid component that propagates that context down to children
• Forked the button and text-field components to add disabled and invalid states
• created a new progress bar component
• created new absolute-rect and relative-rect components for drawing things inside of other things
• started working on a horizontal scroll bar, currently doesn't work when inside of a vertical scroll bar
Very useful things. Would love to see e.g. disabled merged into upstream. Button changes, progress, too, and most probably rects (will need to take a look first)
I'll craft PRs for each eventually
I'm not super confident in the absolute & relative rects. one of the things I like about humble is how it lets me hack on things in a dumb way until it works despite my naivety 😛
Hey y’all. I started playing around with HumbleUI and found some missing features I think are worth implementing:
• ui/resizable : like ui/drawable but enabling the user to resize the element. Possible options could be which sides are resizable and min/max values
• cursor-icons: when thinking about the resizable feature, I was wondering if it would be possible to change the cursor to the standard dragging arrows.
• ui/zoomable: enables zooming (via gestures or CTRL/CMD+scroll) and should have a min/max zoom-in/out value. Naming sounds kind weird though.
Personally I think, that those are some core features worth adding and I wasn’t able to locate them with a simple search in the code base or as open issue on GitHub.
Therefore the question is: Do you think those are some worthwhile features to implement?
I had some other ideas (see above) and went ahead and implemented them myself.
I think the ones you wrote here would be great to have out of the box
Yes. Cursor icons should go into JWM though. We’ve implemented the ones that are more or less cross-platform, the arrows weren’t there, I guess they’ll have to be implemented as custom cursors (I think that’s what browsers do, too)
And high praises for creating HumbleUI, @tonsky! It really works like a charm and is so easy to understand even without any documentation just learning from the example apps. Especially after working with many of the modern UI frameworks (Compose, SwiftUI, React/Native, CSS3) and trying the established ones (QT, Swing, …) it really gives me hope for many new desktop apps to come.
