the under-UI-world...

In the last weeks we have been doing some work in the libwalter project since the summer break, was an active week.

Some classes are starting to be used (in OOffice in my case), therefore some bugs are being cleaned. After the use, the needed improvements can be noticed and implemented(Splitter). Biffuz's ToolBar also got many improvements, and some elements from Tracker were isolated and included in the lib (the little triangle expanding the View)

Finally we added some more test cases to show somehow the result of the project as can be seen in the screenshot.

Anyone can go the libwalter website, download the sources via svn, and "jam" them to build the lib or execute the test cases. For the moment R5/Haiku & ZETA compatible ;)

libWalter ....

So some days after my last post, Darkwyrm and me started to think about creating a library to supply all those widgets I commented many times we miss in our platform.

Of course we have them.. but they are all spread around the comunity projects. Or even some are laying within an unfinished project in hard drive of a developer.
So LibWalter is the try to collect them and join them in a Library. I invite you to check in the OsDrawer site our project site and see the plans.

BTW, some of the components already implemented in libWalter, are being used in OOffice. Also to get the chance to show some of the opensumit code used in the app, here is a screenshot... oh and it is now in R5(I really think it looks nicer)... and I also got it running in Haiku, but that's another history ...
