    Who needs documentation when you could have ancient egyptian support
  • r
    the goto library for ancient linguistic anthropologists
  • b

  • r
    As an alien, I prefer Esperanto myself

    haxeui - powering the "mother ship" since 4000 BC
  • b
    is there an "LCARS" theme for haxeui ?
  • b
    haha, there isnt, but im sooooo going to make it one day...
  • b
    Documentation in ancient Egyptian tho 😳
  • b
    funny you ask because every month or two i think "shall i????"
  • b
    would hook it up to my home automation system (which i havent reinstalled since i moved)
  • b
    in which backends there would be Harfbuzz support ?
  • b
    Not related to rtl, but I have a suggestion for haxeui: When instantiating an object, there should be an optional style argument that can be applied at init time
  • b
    nope, no constructor args, you can have them if you want in your custom components, but its a pain with xml
  • b
    so they are never gonna be in core
  • b
    plus, i hate them
  • b
    Like this:
    Copy code
    hx
new Vbox({
  x: 5,
  y: 5
});
  • b
    aint gonna happen - in core
  • b
    Is it really that bad?
  • b
    Those are optional, you can also do just new Vbox() regularaly
  • b
    to me, yes, but it also makes xml more of a pain, as well as inheritance
  • b
    Not for xml, for code
  • b
    xml builds code
  • b
    Right
  • b
    The xml doesn't need to utilize that feature
  • b
    It's optional
  • b
    its also ugly and screws with inheritance
  • b
    well, doesnt screw with it, but makes it more complex for no reason
  • b
    how about the java pattern with a static constructor function like:
    Copy code
    var c:Class = <Class>.from({x:5,y:0});
  • b
    But non-xml users can use it, and the constructor can have a:
    Copy code
    hx
if (optStyle != null)
{
  customStyle = optStyle
}
  • r
    HaxeUI should have less ways to do things
