if we could get that color wheel in along with the sliders and a 
storage for colors, that would be nice.
(I'm considering that colorwheel for R3 VID
)

Thanks, it could be simplified, I've added the preset paletes so 
one can get consistent color shades, but it can be easily removed.

what's the license? BSD?

I think it should be much faster under R3. At least I hope ;)
Yes, BSD

but I may change to MIT or even PD. It's been sleeping on my HD for 
1.5 year without any usage :)

are there any known bugs in it?

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.

do you directly read the color in the triangle or calculate it based 
on the cursor position?
(the latter might give increased precision, I think)
Rebolek

I was reading the color from the triangle but there's difference 
between calculated value and value from the gradient so now I'm calculating 
it from the cursor position. There's some comented code to show you 
the difference between both methods.

Very nice work, Rebolek!

Nice GUI elements used; I like the rearrangement method used in the 
list of effects, and I see you've done some nice rotate knobs.

Anyone got a simple busy animation I can use with draw?

Not sure it isn't broken though. Never used it.
I see certain things I would have done differently today. :-)
do http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/wait-anim.r

view layout [a: wait-image tog "Wait for it" [either value [a/start][a/stop]]]

I remember not using it, because it didn't work with networking somehow. 
When View doesn't receive events, it can't work.
If you're using BEER, maybe you don't have that problem.

I'll try it out after dinner
Actually the images in wait-images can be used for the anim widget 
in Rebgui :)

; Similar idea -- copied the Apple busy style:

do http://www.ross-gill.com/r/busy-style.r
view layout [bsy: busy black do [set-face bsy true]]

Trying to figure out how it works again : )  Same problems with events 
though...

I picked up an Asus Eee PC with XP on my latest vacation in Japan. 
Rebol runs quite nicely. The relatively small resolution has caused 
me to redo an app. Is there an "easy" way to do screen resizing? 
Is this something best left up to 3.0?

I could in a pinch enclose the screen I have in a scrollable pane 
set to limits of the Eee PC, I suppose.
Thanks as always in advance.

Romano and others have done resizing systems for R2. They can work 
very well, without tooooo much more effort than normal
Chris

I did one interface once where all sizes (components and text) were 
set relative to the layout size, though it was intended to run full-screen. 
 Not sure that's applicable...

I have done a resixing system for R2 that is intended to be incorporated 
directly in future versions. It can be used as is now though.

hi.  I run View in Win XP.  My script is very simple... 

blk: load %/c/input.txt foreach url blk [if not find attempt [read 
append url "cvap"] "Nothing found"  [browse url]]
and a line in the input file is something like this:
http://website1.com/search?query=
http://website2.com/search?query=


So, I want to search for "cvap", and it appends that to the URL and 
I search the result string and if it DOES NOT say "Nothing Found", 
then I open that URL so I can visually examine it.


It works 95% of the time, but sometimes I get the following error:

** Script Error: find expected series argument of type: series port 
bitset
** Near: if not find attempt [read append url "cvap"]

Any ideas how I can fix this?
thx

If 'attempt fails, it returns none.
Which breaks 'find.
You could do -- attempt [find read append url "cvap" "Nothing found"]

James, I'm clearing the licensing to post it on REBOL.org. It's already 
in DevBase.
A variant of this resize code will probably be incorporated in future 
versions of R2. I am just waiting for the R3 VID to settle down so 
I can retrofit its resize model into the code.

Brian, You da man. While I was waiting I decided to throw it into 
a panel but only use that capability when I run the app on my EEE 
PC. BTW, I tried some of the other resize code that was posted and 
it works well but not with my app and it's not that big of a deal 
to warrant hunting down why. Thanks.

Hi! How to upgrade rebcmdview with newer version of Rebol?

I would like to make an app with tray icon and menu, but the original 
rebcmdview shows:
** Script Error: Invalid argument: tray
** Where: set-tray
** Near: set-modes system/ports/system compose/deep/only [
    tray: [
        add main [
            help: getTextByLang "Truck messaging"
            menu: (menu)
        ]
    ]
]

While the newer rebview works good with tray, but lacks ODBC support.

Thanks!

Now with version cmdview2706.exe it works. Looks like I had an too 
old version before (rebcmdview13131.exe)
Is it possible to unview console window in rebol-view?

F.ex. if I want to show some output and then close it so that program 
still continues. But it looks like better is to use some custom window 
face, so that there will be no risk, that user will close/quit accidentaly 
program by closing console win.

I have one slow connection to nySql database by using ODBC. Why operations 
on that pauses also my face events? If I have many sql queries to 
be done than interface of my application stays unresponsive ( no 
reactions on any clicks on buttons, tray menus etc.)
