[E-devel] Window XP test of Efl 1.0

[Andreas V. <li...@br...>]

Hello,

today I installed the Efl 1.0 demo on my Window XP system only to see
how good it's working. If you're interested here is my feedback:

(attached a screenshot)

- Download size of ~9 MB is ok for packaging with windows stand alone
  applications
- Installation finishes without any problems

- expedite_gdi runs without problems and all test look good

- elementary_config prints out this error when I press apply:

ERR:elementary elm_config.c:1278 _elm_config_save() Problem acessing
Elementary'
s user configuration directory: //.elementary/config/default
ERR:elementary elm_config.c:1278 _elm_config_save() Problem acessing
Elementary'
s user configuration directory: //.elementary/config/default
ERR:elementary elm_config.c:1278 _elm_config_save() Problem acessing
Elementary'
s user configuration directory: //.elementary/config/default

- Many elementary_test demos aren't working or even crashing when I run
them

- Efl windows never have an active title bar

- Efl windows have trouble if I move them with the mouse behind another
  window. Then they stop moving and sometimes jump somewhere else.

- By doing not much some windows jumped far out of screen region.

- Title bar is flicking heavy in some examples.

- In general the default fonts after starting elementary_config or
  elementary_test are strange looking.

- starting elementary_test needs > 10 seconds

This is all I remember for now... :-)

I'm sure Efl Windows is in a very early state. I'm happy that someone
takes time to compile it for windows. At work I've to work in windows
and thought about doing something with Efl.

Many of the problems above are for sure platform specific bugs, but I'm
a little wondered about the window move issue. Is this an architectural
problem? Could someone explain this?

regards
	Andreas
