About gui-look: How about mimicing amiga?

How about using the new Canvas GUI images ?

How about adding a slider to the title-group widget to allow scrolling 
of the text in the title-group ?

Just cross-posting Geomol's styles: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/canvas/newstyles.r
Might be a nice base for RebGUI.

Nice clean look. The "button-group" widget (buttons numbered 1 - 
4) would make a good addition. Good idea that.

hmm, my last message got lost probably. I sent it, and then I got 
AltME blue-screen instead of message list for this group, and nothing 
appeared. Kind of short disconnection? :-)

What I just wanted to point out is - those styles do look nice. However, 
they don't seem to reflect mouse-over effect. My question is, if 
we give-up on that. IIRC Chris pointed out, that you have to count 
with such things prior to starting your design. Also - what about 
reflecting in-focus styles? As we know, OS does count with it and 
reflects it visually, what about our Rebol UIs?

Not sure what you mean by "in-focus styles" - please elaborate. ;)

Ashley - simply put - keyboard navigation (tabbing). In Windows, 
e.g. if button is tabbed=in-focus (my english term :-), you can visually 
distinguish it ...

You mean there's a hover visual notification?

yes ... currently there is in RebGui, but there is not with Geomol's 
styles. Or do I miss anything?

Text does not reformat when an area field is resized.

today jipé of rebol french scene have proposed this  progress bar 
:

rebol []
lg: 0
pos: 50x40
fen: layout/size [
at pos

b1: box white 150x20 "0%"  font [size: 11 color: black shadow: none] 
frame black 1
at pos + 1x1

b2: box 1x18 yellow effect [merge colorize 255.255.0 invert] rate 
25 feel [
engage: func [face action event][
if (b2/size/x < 148) [
   lg: lg + 1
   b2/size: b2/size + 1x0
   b1/text: join to-integer lg / 147 * 100 "%"
   show [b1 b2]
   ]
]
]
] 250x100
view/title center-face fen "Smart progress bar"

would be fun in rebGUI ^^

looks like old Windows one :-)

yes that's the trick ^^ but it's fun  old fashion

effective and short code

I didn't know "frame" was a shortcut for "edge [...]". How long has 
that been in VID? Nice code BTW, I think I'll add it.

i didn't know it neither  ^^ jipé is full of suprise i love those 
 little and  full of trickies codes ^^

'frame was in the very early versions of VID but I thought it was 
replaced by 'box.  Perhaps it was resurrected for another use ?

an amelioration!

rebol []
lg: 0
pos: 50x30
fen: layout/size [

b1: box white 150x20 "0%"  font [size: 11 color: black shadow: none]

b2: box 1x18 yellow effect [merge colorize 255.255.0 invert] with 
[
rate: 0
feel: make face/feel [
engage: func [face action event][
if action = 'time [
if (b2/size/x < 148) [
   lg: lg + 1
   b2/size: b2/size + 1x0
   b1/text: join to-integer lg / 147 * 100 "%"
   show [b1 b2]
   ]
   ]
   ]
]
]
t: text 100  form b2/rate
bt: btn "Stop" [
b2/rate: pick [0 none] 'none = b2/rate
bt/text: pick ["Stop" "Start"] "Start" = bt/text
t/text: form b2/rate
show [b2 bt t]
]
] 250x140
view/title center-face fen "Smart progress bar"

thank to jipé for his  implication

It's nice, but it's not really a style.

Is there an easy way to change the image in a title-group, *and* 
have the pane holding the text change accordingly ?

I can set the pane offset and the para origin manually .. perhaps 
needs an accessor function?

shad - here's another take on that progress bar :)

oops.. didnt realise I still had the fill-pen scales set to 0.5 .. 
was testing effects.. :)

Is there a way to do menus in RebGUI?

There is no menu widget, and none planned AFAIK.

Just playing around with tab-panel. The tab highlighting isn't working 
correct. The text keeps underlined (orange) even if I select an other 
panel. When moving the mouse over other panels, the highlighting 
stays. Note: I use several nested tab-panels.

It only happens in the most nested tab-panel group. So if you nest 
three tab-panels with 4-5 entries you will see the effect.

min-size: This feature is only applied after the first try to resize 
the window. Than it's used, at startup time, the window has a "default" 
size. Whereever this size comes from.

table: if a column has the width of the sort arrow, it's no longer 
possible to change sorting order after clicking once.

tab-panel: will investigate
min-size: from the display users guide:

2.1.2 Min-Size

Specify a minimum OS window resize size.

display/min-size "Example" [
    tight
    text 80 blue "Some text" #W
    return
    box 80x40 #WH
] 400x400

Note


The min-size limit will only be enforced upon a window resize, and 
the size is inclusive of an OS specific number of border / title 
pixels. Also note that if any widgets are resizeable (#H and #W) 
and min-size has not been specified then RebGUI will assign a default 
value equal to the initial window size.


table: Already noted by Graham (arrow does not share label feel) 
- will add to list

min-size: Ok, RTFM. I did but not the whole paragraph ;-) But, is 
this the best way to handle it? IMO the startup size should be min-size.

table: Ok, thanks.

Graham - what RebGUI is your app based upon? It shows UI defects, 
which are way too much easily to get into - resizing destroys some 
parts of UI, table keyboard scrolling does not work - it moves hilight 
off of the screen, pop-up system is not fixed either, which is pretty 
annoying ...

Graham - btw - VID - Video Interface Dialect - shouldn't it be Visual 
instead of Video? :-)

Most of those issues are with RebGUI / View itself not Graham's application. 
Next release of RebGUI, which corrects a large number of outstanding 
issues, is waiting on the imminent release of View 1.3.2 (which among 
other things fixes the 'parent option).

Pekr, yes, I need to fix that.  Visual is correct.

As for the GUI issues, I am confident that Ashley and contributors 
will fix those issues and so I have released it as is.  I don't resize 
anyway.

I am primarily interested in functionality at present.

Ashley - I know, that is why I posted reply in this group, to actually 
see the reaction of when next RebGUI release is planned, and what 
it will address :-)

Ashley, View 1.3.2? We are already at 1.3.61 or am I missing something?

Seems I have lost track of all the version numbering... just wondering.
