bobef <bobef abv-nospam.bg> What screen shots? HTML + CSS - your imagination is the limit. If you don't believe me take a look here - http://www.webcreme.com/ . Now imagine this in a window with title bar and minimize/maxime/close buttons, working faster even than opera (and than native Win32 controls too), programmable in D and fully customizable and extensible :D This is your screenshot :D BLS Wrote:bobef schrieb:Pre alpha: http://dsource.org/projects/flowerd/wiki Provides wrapper for HTMLayout (embeddable HTML component).

BLS Wrote:Dear bobef, So, what do I see at webcreme? .. web stuff... not related at all to Desktop frontend- Applications. (Doest it fit into my WIN DESKTOP vertical market app. ? Can I use the layout engine,etc ... sure, "somehow" stupid questions, but please keep in mind that not all of us are aware/comfortable regarding Harmony) :) I guess that (most probabely) I miss something here, however a smart expressive little piece of code, showing visual effects, will help.

Hope it is useful.I read BLS and yidabu, and here's my own thoughts, too: Look, making a superior product (as in VHS vs Beta, Nikon vs Canon, the Anglo-Saxon system vs SI (or even mks), algebraic vs RPN), it never was about technical superiority or even better usability. The whole point was to /get it to the customer/. So? Screenshots, trivial example sources /with/ corresponding screen shots; a FAQ, and a few lines describing why one would switch over. Please. Pre-Alpha? The more reason to fix the above already!

Sorry guys. I will provide more info, examples, etc with time. I just don't have the time to do it all right now. I am sharing the code because I think it is usable. Just to make one thing clear. HTMLayout !is Harmonia . It is not a GUI library. It is an HTML renderer. It renders HTML and CSS (and some SVG too). So it allows you to do everything you see on the web. Visual effects and everything (this is why I showed webcreme). If you need to do some forms, controls, etc you can do it too... It is very well designed so it is also usable as GUI library. And it is very easy to do complex layouts with HTML by hand, unlike any standard GUI library, and then it is very easy to control everything from D... Sorry I don't have the time right now for examples and stuff, but if you are interested take a deeper look at HTMLayout's website. It provides all the info you need. Plus, if you are going to use the wrapper, you need to familiarize with HTMLayout first, so it is a very good starting point. If you have questions and need any specific info - ask in the flowerd forum. I will try to help.

As far as I know from the little info there is on his site, Andrew is working on a cross-platform version. But you better ask him for the status of the port. Robert M.
