[!RebGUI] A lightweight alternative to VID

Try moving your mouse over the big RebGUI logo in %tour.r ... then 
look at the very first line of the display block! ;)
They can be used with any widget as follows:

	display "Test" [
		field tool-tip "Some help text"
	]

Ok, pretty much the only thing I have changed is to use the latest 
rebgui .. and my app which normally used 0% of cpu, is now running 
0 - 20%, and sometimes 99% .. even when doing nothing.
Has anyone else seen this??
Linked in an old version of rebgui and the cpu eating problem disappears.
Reverted to 0.4.2

I've re-encapped all my apps with the latest build and they all idle 
at 0-1%. %tour.exe idles at 50-75% though! Hmm, I might cut widgets 
out one at a time to see if it's a particular widget (e.g. anim or 
a timer) or just the number of widgets/events that's the problem. 
Good catch (I've been more concerned about optimizing for memory 
use of late, not CPU).

typing felt a little sluggish and I was exploring why!

Found the culprit! Set rebgui-ctx/effects/tooltips: false and things 
should return to normal. Next build will default to off unless I 
can fix this.

ok.
tool-tips or tooltips ?
Ashley

tooltips
Some crude benchmarks with %tour.r

	tooltips: true		60-70% CPU
	tooltips: false		3%


Heavy optimization cuts the first one by 5% and the second by 1%, 
but the base cause of the problem is this line in rebgui-display.r:

	find-face event/offset event/face ctx-rebgui/tooltip-sensitive


which is needed to get around the View detect bug described here:

RAMBO Ticket #3867

ctx-rebgui/effects/tooltips: false
Works for me .. back to 0% again.

I have never seen this effect with the version I use. And I have 
tooltips on and use them. My app idels and tooltips work without 
any problems.

hmm, will you guys build downloadable file once you reach merged 
and kind of stable release?
Graham
19-Feb-2007
[5414]
just use the svn, and then run create-distribution.r

Graham, Pekr probably mean, that it's nice that you announce build 
numbers. But for example I don't know how to access your svn so the 
build numbers are a little bit useless. So maybe one day it will 
be fine to see some link into rebol file as well:)

Yes, adding some RebGUI stable release to a web-site is a good idea. 
I can do it, or Ashley do you want to do it on your web-site?
Pekr

well, I downloaded SVN (Tortoise) to not be a lazy dog :-) I just 
don't know what to do with it yet :-)
where do I enter the url of trac?
hmm, do I need to first set-up any user accoung prior to being able 
to download files? What URL shoul I enter?
I get some propfind error, if I enter http://track.geekisp.com/rebgui
Graham

svn:// not http://
trac is not svn
Pekr
19-Feb-2007
[5423]
and the whole url, please?
Graham
19-Feb-2007
[5424x4]
svn://svn.geekisp.com/rebgui
trac is a different program altogether .. it's a web interface to 
svn
right click on a directory, and then choose checkout from the svn 
directory
enter the svn url and that's it.
Pekr

and those releases you talk abou there, are there, right?
hmm, can't connect, have to check my proxy settings :-(
Graham

this information is on the page http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui
and when you checkout, you should get the latest builds

161kB.. it's pretty large:] I just don't like the oval buttons with 
gradients
Graham

Robert, is your tool-tip implementation based upon different code?
Oldes - you have a better design we can use?
Oldes
19-Feb-2007
[5437]
no, I like the BTN style of button which is in Rebol by default
Pekr

please change tabs - they look ugly :-)
Graham
19-Feb-2007
[5439]
I'm not sure the tabs look ugly.. they certainly are more visual 
than the previous highlighting.
Pekr
19-Feb-2007
[5440x2]
is there any change?
I talk about the "old version" I posted some screenshots for e.g. 
cyphre's tabs. The visual trouble is, that there is not space between 
them.
Graham
19-Feb-2007
[5442]
before there was a thin highlight to show which tab you were on ; 
now the whole tab is highlighted.
Pekr

only the small corner "triangle" - few pixels - it does not work 
with darker background ...
Graham
19-Feb-2007
[5444]
I'm quite happy with the visuals at the moment.
Pekr

I would prefer despaced boxed (not "rounded") design ... or just 
make it usable for dark backgrounds. It feels somehow smeared/blurred, 
dunno ... but - maybe just my feelings ...
