[Crengine-devel] !School Project for Cool Reader!

[Berkay C. <ber...@ho...>]

Hello guys,I am Berkay,who is an exchange student at Freie Universitat Berlin for an erasmus year in informatik department.One of my lessons is called softwareprocesses and we are actually doing several projects/homeworks for it in weekly basis.This week we had to find an interesting OSS project
and pick an issue (bug or feature)
to work on.And I have selected CoolReader for this with my Spanish friend(Antonio Perez).We are going to solve the problem with tss toolbar as a school project and you may contribute,add something or give us any ideas to do if you are interested in.We also created a discussion page as you will see the link below.Thank you for your time in advance!on behalf of my group,Berkay Cura






This is a summary of what we wrote to our universitys wiki page as an introduction to this project.

This project has two formats basically.The android (handheld devices) version of it and the port of android version for deskops such as windows/ios/linux.The android version has more implementations than the deskop one.The main purpose of this program is to create opportunities for the people who wants to read e-books in a simple,easy and accessable way.But especially in the deskop version of this program hasnt got all the implementations with the android version of it and android version hasnt got many problems as the deskop one.But TSS-Toolbar is a unique problem that occurs in both of the systems but ofcourse it is more of a problem in deskop app(because of its unwieldy portal).What we are planning to do is;instead of a overlay toolbar such as it is now maybe it is better to use a shrink to read-view and dock the toolbar kind of a way for this toolbar and even put some shortcut buttons that are not frequently used in the program itself(such as arrow bars or space button) to create more reading space.Users can also use the shortcuts to make any process faster once they get used to it.We also have several android specialized ideas that cant be used in regular deskop systems like sliding down the toolbar from the top of the screen or tapping it from a really small button which can be placed at the left-top or right-top of the screen.Because that way nothing will be obscured.Discussion Page for Our Issue at Project; https://sourceforge.net/p/crengine/discussion/673936/thread/dd05b455/?limit=25#6e2f
