precisely what I'm using now

oki

ops, I skipped Gabriele's post. There it was! :)

I'm not sure this is ready for announcement as it's still a prototype, 
so I'll put it here: http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/toolbar/toolbar-demo.r

it's a toolbar with a simple dialect to alter the sequence of the 
buttons. the space between the buttons is flexible.

I like it and you thought also about the text to the buttons.

Yes, looks good.

It even resizes correctly! This will give apps a decent professional 
look.

Feel free to use it. I haven't made docs yet and I plan to rewrite 
it (but not change the functionality). The source to toolbar-demo.r 
should be fairly explanatory.

Nice, I seethe  OSX influence ;-)

not influence, blatant rip-off (cough!) :-)

Quite Cool.

I got bored and played around with gradients: http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/bored.r

looks cool :-)

what framerate do you get?

hypnotically slow, but not a slideshow

funny, my mac and the PC gives about the same framerate. the rate 
is set to 50, but I get about 5-7 fps on both machines.

This is on Ubuntu

I expected the mac to be about half as fast.

Looks like a jet engine fan ...... on a P3 733 I get about 3 frames/sec

How do you know the frame rate on a moving pattern?  It could be 
187 frames per second, and moving so fast that it appears to be moving 
slow, or even backwards : )

That aside, I get about 3 frames/sec on a 2Ghz system.

One can always change "r: r + 1 // 360" to "r: r + 10 // 360"

Oh...and very nice Henrik.

it's a haphazard set of tuples, blocks and "oh hey that looks funny, 
I'll put that in" moments. presto, jet engine purely with gradients.

I think it's pretty good as a composite engine, although a bit slow 
way to draw things.

Henrick, you should get bored more often ;-)

:-)

You can speed it up a little bit by doing this:
view/new/title center-face main: make-face/spec 'box [
  size: 400x400 
  rate: 50 feel: make feel [

ie. instead of using LAYOUT which makes a face with a box in it, 
just make the box.

I see no speed difference, but maybe it needs to be measured.

Mmm... maybe I imagined it.... You have to admit it's a simpler face 
hierarchy though.

yeah, but when showing the face, would that affect the rest of the 
layout?

Obviously the box effect consumes the most cpu, but I think since 
the box is inside another face, it needs to be copied into its frame 
buffer.

I think the size of the face being refreshed has the most effect, 
even if two same-size faces are layered on top of eachother

Ah well, looks only about 1% faster.  I remember also Cyphre reporting 
that face refreshes speed up significantly when the offset is at 
0x0.

that's very interesting

it would be nice to know more about this to better understand how 
to optimize such things

Yes it would.  Nice effect tby the way.

thanks :-)

do http://home.wilddsl.net.au/anton/rebol/game/maze-generator.r

With enough memory you can prerender the images and simply play them. 
And after a few degrees it looks the same as before, so you can save 
a lot memory.

(was to Henrik)

Looks interesting, Henrik!

Do the standard Vid gadgets not have double click support?

well there is a way to detect a doubleclick

the second action block ... doesn't work.

no, that's for alt action, not doubleclick

what is double click?

anyway, alt click doesn't work either.
