Skins Demo : More widgets and less bugs

Hi Etienne, I tried the calendar drop down, and got this ** Script Error: Invalid path value: show-dropdown ** Where: func [face value][self/show-dropdown] ** Near: self/show-dropdown Also, does using these styles slow View down? -- Graham Chiu

Very good question. I am running newly installed Athlon 1.4+ machine here at work, 256MB of RAM, and switching the style took some 20 or more sec? What could be the reason? -pekr-

I think the mistake is not in the calendar dropdown but in the dropdown. Prehaps, I didn't change the file name for some widgets, and now there is a conflict. So, I recommend to delete the ../etienne.alaurent.free.fr/rebol/tools/skins-demo2/ directory and to launch again "Skins demo". All will run fine (I hope). For the slowness, I can have some explanations : -First, if it is the first time you launch Skins demo, all image files are downloaded when you select a new skin. -Then, if all files are downloaded, when you change the skin, all the widgets are built again in memory with the new skin, and all the faces are built again with the new widgets. -When a big image file is used, it can take more time to update in memory (see the Metal skin) ==> So, to make a skin more light and usable, do not use big image files. Any comment ? -- regards. --- Etienne
