07/09/2021, 8:00 AMmaybe its super heavy, dunno - b

07/09/2021, 8:00 AM> Class wxHtmlWindow (derived from wxScrolledWindow) is used to display HTML documents defo too heavy i think - b

07/09/2021, 8:04 AMi actually recently started moving away from native for my haxelib manager - started using electron + haxeui-html5... it was just a test originally, but honestly, now i prefer having more control over the UI look - b

07/09/2021, 8:05 AMi do still think its possible to do that with wxWidgets though, but its so much simpler without 😦 - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMI'll need lightweight applications so I'll have to avoid electron (but am using html5 target for many things right now and yeah, more control over the UI is nice) - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMI read some things about wxUniversal, how it should support theming, skins or something - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMexactly... its a compromise i guess, like everything - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMBut can't find much - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMi dont think its ready yet - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:06 AMi think its still in the pipeline - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:07 AMlightweight in what sense? Mem consumption or disk size? - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:08 AMEverything - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:08 AMWill have to make some apps run on linux phone, some on raspberry - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:09 AMright... i mean electron .exes are HEAVY... that app above comes in at 135mb of hdd space (and does very little atm)... mem usage is about 100mb... which is also pretty huge considering it doesnt really do much - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:10 AMas it grows though i would expect it to NOT grow that much (well, mem probably, but not hdd) - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:10 AMYeah but it's really not nearly resource-efficient enough for mobile / raspberry - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:11 AMfor sure - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:11 AMFor desktop, it's not great but it does the job - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:11 AMKinda. When you start having more and more apps using it, your system becomes unusable :x - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:12 AMthe native version comes it at about 10mb hdd and about 30mb ram (and does ALOT more) - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:12 AMDoes it work with cppia? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:13 AMnope... well, not out the box... im sure (well, i mean, i guess) you could make it work with it - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:13 AMAm not used to hxcpp target (nor cppia), and I've been avoiding it because it seems to be sooo bad compilation time-wise compared to js target, etc. :x - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:13 AMive only just recently started playing with cppia recently actually, and its VERY cool - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:13 AMif you use the hxcpp compiler cache its really not a big deal - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:14 AMbut i guess im used to c++ compile times, so its never really bothered me... i mean, i full clean compile, sure... c++ takes an age... but i started with c/c++ so its just what i got used to i suppose - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:14 AMAm used to couple of seconds builds x) - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:15 AMAbove 5-10s can annoy me already - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/09/2021, 8:15 AMspoilt 😄 minutes is mostly fine with me... at least for a first compile - u
user
07/09/2021, 8:16 AMI can live with a long-ish first compile
