for haxeui

to apply one style to many object, i use a simple

applyStyle

function:

haxe
function applyStyle(style:Style, ...components:Component) {
    for (c in components) {
        c.customStyle = style;
    }
    return components;
}

var s:Style = {width: app.window.width, height: 30};
s.applyStyle(obj1, obj2)

is there a reason that shouldnt be added?

thats a pretty neat QOL thing

also for the

Color

class, you can add some extra string filtering to deal with space chars, hyphens, underscores and capital letters:

haxe
@:from 
static public function fromString(s:String):Color {
        if (StringTools.startsWith(s, "0x") || StringTools.startsWith(s, "#")) {
            return Std.parseInt("0x" + s.substring(s.length - 6));
        }
    s = StringTools.replace(StringTools.replace(StringTools.replace(StringTools.trim(s.toLowerCase()), "-", ""), " ", ""), "_", "");
        return switch (s) { ... }
}

what that means for two word (or less) colors (ill take royalblue as an example): i can now do: ROYALBLUE RoyalBlue royalBlue royal blue royal-blue royal_blue ...

I dont really have a use for this (personally) - i would just use css, though i guess it couldnt hurt adding it to a StyleTools or something, then you can just have a "using StyleTools;"

yeah, doesnt hurt, i think you mentioned this before - low priority, but doesnt hurt either (do people actually use color names?? I think ive only ever used "red", "blue", "green", "white" and "black")

my app's settings uses this for its coloring

its a neat json thing

think ive shown that

fair enough, makes sense, users can input colour strings 👍

thats the apps settings. you can notice it has a jsonSettings section

and the colors can use whatever format the user wants

yeah, gotcha

btw, what openfl target is that? Is it hxcpp? Or web?

colors remain the same

hxcpp

really? That font in the right hand description looks smooth - what is it? Does it look as nice at smaller sizes?

its Rubik, and it sometimes looks wonky with capital O but i think its only in size 16

so yeah its great at smaller sizes

thats the default size for the menus

hmmm, ok, doesnt look so nice there 😦

yeah...

one day ill find a font that looks amazing on openfl at 12 -> 14 px

with the entire app tho it looks ok

yeah, i mean, it doesnt look bad it just looks like... ... well, openfl text rendering... i can never quite put my finger on what it is

well

times new roman is handled pretty well
