    The answer to life, the universe and everything: math.

    not hard and fast but providing some connection
  • b
    42, right? 😉

    It's funny, when Ian asked this question I thought about you . It could be cool be if some "artistry oriented " persons could make some themes for haxeui. I love the idea fo haxeui themes, but I have no sense of design
  • o
    well balance is complex, and designers would do some really strange stuff sometimes it worked.. other times maybe they should have started with something related to the golden ratios and then tweaked
  • o
    you almost need an editor that allows you to try various options without recompiling
  • p
    Or hot reload (but that doesn't play well with a stateful api like HaxeUI, I think).
  • o
    often by eye works, what is important is to give space but not take up the whole screen. I remember the flash properties panel it was really a bit over crowded.. they rebuilt it and you almost had to have another screen for it!
  • o
    textmate is definitely an editor that was well considered
  • f
    I think it would work well with haxeui , I think you can easily load again the css by code from an external file.
  • o
    so much features but so subtle
  • f
    But now you're giving me the idea of doing a theme editor app lol . Maybe in few months, when all my other apps are finished haha
  • p
    CSS - I guess that's doable without too much difficulty. Actual component layout - more difficult and would require quite a bit of support code in haxeui + user applications structured in a particular way. (Since you somehow have to rebuild the layout upon reload)
  • f
    Oh yeah, I was just thinking about colours . But I think most simple component layouts would be quite easy to do. ( Plenty are already doable by css) . Plus it's quite easy to change layouts at runtime for plenty of components. Then just an editor to have a general feeling would already be quite good

    How did you include the form in the dialog ?
  • b
    just 
    <dialog><form>...
  • b
    but i handle the validation in the dialog
  • f
    Ok cool, I'll try it soon 🙂

    How to install haxeui in kha?
  • r
    In your Libraries directory, use a git submodule to add haxeui-core and haxeui-kha. Then add them in your Khafile
  • r
    Ignore the hscript dependency required in the readme
  • r
    It isn't needed anymore
  • b
    ha, i was trying to do it with wrong name. Thanks.
  • b
    haxeUI was not found.
  • b
    Now the folder takes 2 gb of storage.
  • r
    Are you using git sub modules?
  • b
    yes, all three commands from readme.
  • b
    kinc... Why?
  • a
    this threw me for a second
