[Plib-devel] New PUI example / demo program

[Sebastian U. <ud...@ha...>]

Hi everybody.


As I promised, I started to work on a new PUI demonstration program.

The nice thing about the application is that it is an example of a
substantial PUI application and even does something not completely
useless:

While writing programs using PUI, I often wished to know how a specific
widget looks with a particular colour scheme / font / style in front of
(say) a greenish background without recompiling in order to find out the
best-looking values quickly.

My application allows developers to experiment with these values
on-the-fly.

Because screenshots say more than written text, here is one:

It should be obvious how the program works. You can even have multiple
windows open at one time to experiment with different widgets, that's what
the "New Window" button is for.

The application is not perfect - but it works well.

Some features are not yet implemented (Loading / Saving profiles and
loading own fonts) - but if the program gets into CVS, I will add these
functions if I have the time.


So are you interested in adding the program to the CVS repository ?

If you are, there is one small problem - I don't have found a name for it
yet :).
