# haxe-ui
  • o
    this was the openfl one
  • o
    Probably need to put some real effort into setting up some controls.
  • c
    coconut.haxeui only drives the reactive part. the rest is still handled by haxeui itself
  • b
    Yeah. I know. Still gotta do the rendering backend to haxeui.
  • b
    I'm excited about the concept of it all.
  • b
    > will you release that source? would be a great example to demonstrate how to use custom styling
  • b
    absolutely... i want to put each component style onto the expolorer
  • b
    that way its a kind of reference
  • b
    @User - any chance you could open up an issue with a minimal example on haxeui-openfl?
  • b
    wrt the explorer: i did start to go down that route for, but only got as far as buttons, mainly because i didnt have any assets to use for the bitmap variants
  • b
    but now i have most of the UI working with kennys assets it will be extremely easy to just copy and paste the relevant parts into the relevant files
  • o
    I am just using 88 to 103 so it's pretty minimal
  • o
    Copy code
    Toolkit.init();
        var main = new VBox();

        var calendarDD = new DropDown();
        calendarDD.text = "SelectDate";
        calendarDD.type = "date";
        main.addComponent(calendarDD);
        
        var button1 = new Button();
        button1.text = "Button 1";
        main.addComponent(button1);

        var button2 = new Button();
        button2.text = "Button 2";
        main.addComponent(button2);
        this.addChild(main);
  • o
    Would this be suitable or would you like me to setup a repo test?
  • o
    I don't think the other js canvas stuff I am using should really effect it
  • b
    ill take a look
  • b
    thanks
  • o
  • o
    Is that useful report?
  • o
    As I said I don't know what to expect, so it's likely just needs me to tweak styles from default?
  • b
    thats perfect.... thanks
  • o
    @User what about a more casual component theme either a script eg: https://www.designbombs.com/best-free-script-fonts/ or http://comicneue.com/, I guess something that looks less corporate, with a very white unboxed / soft box feeling or warm pastel, to provide more contrast of styles. Some how components style that almost does not feel like a component and goes a long way from windows forms style.
  • o
    I don't know how difficult but currently the styles look all quite corporate interface all the fonts are quite computer formal
  • o
    This is quite interesting https://graphicmama.com/blog/the-best-design-examples-for-2020/ but would be good to have demo of a theme that did not feel like as component like?
  • b
    yeah, once v1.1 comes out im thinking of creating a few different themes for it... i agree the look of the default theme is bland, but thats mainly because i am not a designer, by any stretch of the imagination. So grey boxes are are the simplest (for me). Kiazen did some nice styles with haxeui, but with an actual designer
  • b
    also, the default styles are just that, default... everything can be changed, the default css is the basic overall look, which, as you state is certainly pretty boring / coroporate / windows
  • o
    I guess looking at something like popular shopify themes. https://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=ecommerce/shopify Because essentially components are ideal for ecomerce
  • o
    I guess I am thinking that if they are ultimately skinable then they need a few examples to stop them being considered just suitable for adding a test ui to a game, so perhaps suitable for Kiosk application or interfaces for corporate apps that used to use java / or windows forms and want something more user friendly.
  • o
    I like the current styles but they don't challenge user perception but I get what you mean about designers
  • b
    ^^ true enough... ill have to play around at some point, but its also something else that others can also play with... when it comes to the actual visual stuff im more than happy to listen to others who have a better eye for that sort of stuff
