| Brandon | My Next GUII am not 100% sure were my next GUI will be going. Basically there are 3 options:
1. Fun500 Klinger, start with 4 and add on, but I feel like 'm stretching an old shoe to make it fit.
2. Fun500 Radar, whole new codebase, brand new shoes with space to grow.
3. Work with Murray on a GUI.
Most likely it will be 2 or 3 or a combination of the two. | 2008-10-04 | 7:56 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUII agree. #1 is somewhat like what Mircosoft did with Windows ME: take Windows 98 and make it hell! lol
What's in Radar BTW? | 2008-10-04 | 8:12 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUINothing yet! But It will be much more a powerful scripter which is BASIC Like. | 2008-10-04 | 8:16 PM |
| Brandon | Codename PinkRemember in the 2 BETAs when I used colors for codenames? lol Well I'm not giving much away about Codename Pink, besides the fact that you all will be surprised and I will get my top 2 finish in the GUI Awards! | 2008-10-05 | 5:16 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkI made progress today, The last couple days I've been fighting to get a decent working environment. I've decided on SVGA and FreeBASIC. Other than that I'm not gonna tell much, what would you like to see a GUI do? | 2008-10-09 | 5:27 PM |
| aguma | Re:Codename Pinkget your homework from your backback and do it for you. :laugh: lol jk
maybe a reminder system (the one that I couldn't get to work)? | 2008-10-09 | 6:04 PM |
| Todd | Re:Codename PinkAnti-aliasing? | 2008-10-09 | 6:41 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkWTF is that? (I know its something to make fonts look good.) But how do I implement it? | 2008-10-09 | 6:45 PM |
| Re:Codename PinkI have NO idea! :laugh: It's basically to smooth out all the rough edges in stuff. | 2008-10-09 | 6:50 PM |
| Todd | Re:Codename PinkYeah, you usually can achieve it in 32-bit mode. I remember reading about it in FB's docs. | 2008-10-09 | 7:04 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkLOL, in DOS you can only get 16bit to work. Well on true hardware, I have only been able to get 16 or less, maybe the code for 24/32 its the same in fb, has a bug? | 2008-10-09 | 7:19 PM |
| Todd | Re:Codename PinkWell it's probably Allegro. Allegro says it's capable of 32-bit but like you said I never got it to work. It just shows a blank screen. Again it might be that the PC doesn't support a VESA mode in 32-bit. | 2008-10-09 | 7:28 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkDo you know how many DOS PCs I have? | 2008-10-09 | 7:31 PM |
| Todd | Re:Codename PinkDo you know how many of them support 32-bit VESA mode? | 2008-10-09 | 7:46 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename Pinkdunno, fb 32bit won't run on any of them. | 2008-10-09 | 7:49 PM |
| Todd | Re:Codename PinkYeah so my guess is that 32-bit VESA isn't supported. 16-bit VESA is still good and it depends on how far you can push it. Some of my computers won't go past 800x600 in VESA so I'd put in a screen mode setting that can be changed by the user. | 2008-10-09 | 7:52 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkI know, most DOS machines are good at 800x600, but past that they struggle. | 2008-10-09 | 7:58 PM |
| aguma | Re:Codename Pinkisn't 640x480x8 ok enough for you guys!? lol | 2008-10-09 | 8:51 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Codename PinkNo, hi res, or no res. | 2008-10-09 | 8:56 PM |

aguma, what's your screen resolution on your desktop? | 2008-10-09 | 10:27 PM |
| jasonwoodland | Re:My Next GUIMine is oversized for the screen size, lol, 1152x864x32. Anything under 640x480x4I wouldn't like to use. ;) | 2008-10-10 | 12:27 AM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUIThats not a real resolution! | 2008-10-10 | 11:38 AM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIOh yes it is!
My roommate has a 15" monitor that is extremely wide so in order to compensate for such a large width and small height, it uses a resolution similar to the dimensions Jason uses. | 2008-10-10 | 12:39 PM |
| ksr | Re:My Next GUIHey, I used to use 1152x864 when I had a CRT. Now I use an integrated TV/LCD at a resolution of 1280x960. The native resolution of the display is 1440x900, but the stupid thing just says "Out of range" when I try that. | 2008-10-10 | 1:07 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUITodd, 1152x864 would be a 4:3 resolution, not for a wide screen. I just hadn't seen it before, its not a common one. | 2008-10-10 | 1:37 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIHis monitor isn't ultra-wide but it is pretty wide. I just measured it and it's roughly 10" wide and 6" high. So 10:6 would actually be 5:3.
It isn't really common I agree but I haven't seen Jason's monitor. Personally I never got any of my CRTs to go past 1024x768 except for one that had a very high resolution of 1280x1024 but I couldn't see text when it was set to that. | 2008-10-10 | 2:15 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUIMy Athlon uses a 17inch CRT at 1280x1024 just fine. Its a newish CRT tho. | 2008-10-10 | 3:53 PM |
| aguma | Re:My Next GUIActually I'm using 1280x800 :P
But I mean for GUIs that we make, that always seems to be enough. | 2008-10-10 | 6:04 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIOne thing you have to realize aguma is that people like things that you can set to your preference. If KDE didn't put in themes along with look and feel settings, it wouldn't be very popular for being customizable. | 2008-10-10 | 6:13 PM |
| aguma | Re:My Next GUII mean as a default resolution | 2008-10-10 | 6:30 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIWell it's Brandon's decision to do so. ;) | 2008-10-10 | 6:36 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUIHuh? I always let the user customize the look, did you try Fun500 GUI 4? | 2008-10-10 | 6:37 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIYeah I know it's a setting. I just told aguma why GUIs should be customizable. | 2008-10-10 | 6:49 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Next GUIBecause you said so? | 2008-10-10 | 6:57 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Next GUIJust a general rule-of-thumb for any programmer. | 2008-10-10 | 8:41 PM |
