    yeah
  • s
    maybe look at lime. I tried looking at it but I don't really understand it 😅 it has a lot of frames and windows. If other targets can open an external window tho (likely because of the dialog feature) it should be possible to create something similar
  • b
    yeah, i would have thought so... the only one im really unsure about is heaps / hl
  • s
    doesn't openfl build to HL
  • b
    i think so
  • s
    if it's the language you're worried about it shouldn't be a problem
  • s
    besides C bindings
  • b
    it very well may already expose something like that
  • s
    do you use something like that for dialogs?
  • b
    kinda, dialogs in composites are composites, dialogs in native are native where as (so far) all selectFileDialogs are native
  • s
    interesting
  • b
    it wouldnt be hard to have a fallback to a composite (its how dialogs work essentially) im just not sure its a good idea... its another thing to maintain and, it'll never be "right"
  • s
    yeah imagining it it wouldn't look good considering every other app uses native
  • b
    yup, and it will also never "feel" right
  • s
    that's what happens when you jam UI into a game framework 😅
  • s
    openfl is at least half based in UI
  • b
    i think all "game frameworks" can be pretty good targets for apps too tbh... html and native will always be better though imo
  • b
    i think it depends in the type of application in reality
  • s
    except windows native 😆
  • b
    heh heh, yeah, except that 😄
  • b
    although, you can make pretty good apps with wx, its just ALOT of tinkering
  • s
    converting my app to electron was painful because you can't request a url syncronously
  • s
    I had to add tink_core and tink_await
  • s
    I guess it depends on the app; that app makes windows native work
  • b
    defo depends on the app
  • s
    trying to force a dark theme on windows native does NOT work 😅
  • b
    thats because you are trying to fight the OS... which is never going to work
  • b
    its even more impossible on osx
  • b
    osx makes windows look hyper configurable
  • s
    I wish wxWidgets had more targets for windows considering the many UI styles
