    I wouldn't mind a C# extern with xaml 👀
  • b
    there is a haxeui-winforms
  • b
    but not even sure it compiles anymore... its atrophied somewhat
  • s
    i'm not sure if it would be wise to maintain a 1 platform solution either
  • s
    also thanks for telling me about osx, I have to build electron for it as well
  • b
    well, yes a no, one big difference is that OSX comes with a dark theme, and its not awful (its what i use on my mac)
  • s
    Oh that's all I want so 🤷
  • b
    thats why its generally better, if you are writing native, to use the OS defaults
  • s
    I don't really care about anything rn except dark theme
  • s
    which is why the dark theme toggle is only enabled on electron
  • s
    and the CI only builds electron for windows
  • b
    sure sure, im just saying, generally picking the theme for the user isnt what you want from a native application
  • b
    plenty of exceptions to that ofc
  • s
    well windows has bad theming
  • b
    really bad theming
  • b
  • b
    looks like 
    hl.UI.loadFile
    is the HL bit
  • s
    hashlink has a UI library?
  • s
    hashlink has so much
  • b
    naw, its not a UI lib, just a way to interface with the OS
  • b
  • s
    I see it
  • s
    Could any Sys lib be written a UI thing in it's native lang?
  • b
    not sure what you mean
  • s
    There are a lot of targets that have access to file system; do they support externs that could be made to open dialogs?
  • s
    platforms
  • s
    Oh eval 🙁 but who uses that
  • s
    why can't it be written in haxe
  • b
    i dont think its as simple as having access to file systems, its about having access to the OS code to open a file dialog
  • b
    there is a lib that i think its pretty great for for system dialogs, but i cant remember it now
