Also check this small GUI experiment:
do http://bolek.techno.cz/reb/efflist-complete.r


rearange the effects using drag'n'drop, duplicate effect whit green 
"o", remove them with red "x" (that's not good idea, as you cannot 
add removed effects back) and set their values with knobs, check 
box and color-picker.

Just that the precision of picking color in the triangle is limited. 
You can test it if you try to move the picker to one of the edges 
and you will see that the sliders won't go to min/max values. There's 
some rounding involved, missing decimal pair! and of course, to be 
really precise, the color wheel should be at least 256pixels wide. 
But you can alwas finetune using sliders.

Oldes, do you still have that nice "color picker" code somewhere? 
 I want to embed that into GLASS as a style, I'd put it in the default 
release with your permission.

ah  battle of the color pickers then...  Rebolek is your picker available, 
I'm curious to see it?

hmm, should say 3, I forgot the second version of the color picker 
to upload, now it's here as well http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=148

If you're color blind (as some of you may be), the color is called 
Request in the AltME color picker.

Color picker example - http://www.rebol.net/r3blogs/0153.html- I 
gues now with Carl's frequent enough blogging, there is no point 
in posting such links?

Can anyone guess, what is "Face DO reactor (event action) reuse" 
in Color picker blog? It is represented by code like:

set-clr: when [enter] do [ ... some code here ...]

Simple answer: I don't think we are currently talking about finalization 
and the color picker was an example, not a feature.


Longer answer: The new GUI is going to be part of the open source 
portion of R3, and open source projects are never really finished 
until they die. So the question here is not "finalized" but "ready 
for a release to the wider developer community". In order to do that 
we need to put together the core design of the infrastructure and 
enough styles to get the new DevBase GUI up and running. Right now 
we are focussing on styles and features that have the most impact 
on the system as a whole, or the most potential to flush out bugs 
in the underlying runtime.


If it all seems low-level, that is because it is. We will have a 
development release before we have most of the styles you mention 
because we will need the help of the developer community to make 
those styles and more. However, don't expect the styles you list 
to be missing - some of them meet the criteria I lested above, like 
helping flush out design flaws or use in DevBase.

I do want to convert rebolek's famous color picker into using liquid... 
one of the thing which will be made better is the fact that I can 
sample colours from mouse events much more often than actual refreshes 
occur, so that it should feel smoother.
