[Alephmodular-devel] GUI: 0.4 planning

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

I must say that the concept of having a Cross-platform API around the 
currently platform specific dialogs (Preferences, Network prep and 
finishing) does have its merits. Especially if for whatever reason 
those elements need to be changed. (General addition of features, or a 
project wanting to add their own preferences)

I find myself either worrying about the polish or worrying about 
reinventing the wheel.

Hsm, just had an idea.

How reasonable is it to say for now 'each GUI implements their own UI' 
with a note to have someone later come back and work on an additional 
GUI which hits the cross-platform points better?

Alternatively, each GUI implements their own UI and then we all swap to 
SDL when it feels like it has enough polish.


Mmm, thoughts on Cross-platform resources? Most notably text strings in 
marathon2.resource, pop up menu lists, and dialog texts? I suppose in 
addition this would include 'Just where would SDL resources go?'
