- Alter theide so that it is capable of building Cocoa apps
[i]well, Cocoa uses MVC pattern and will need a
C to Obj-C bridge. Not sure if this is an easy path.
|
Well, there is at least one 'proof of concept' - if uncertain, look at how Firefox manages it

- Develop SystemDraw.
One particular complication there could be font metrics - not sure whether MacOSX is using freetype in base system
[i]you mean SystemDraw for Cocoa apps?
|
Yes.
| Quote: |
- Develop base CtrlCore
[i]again, for Cocoa via Obj-C bridge?
|
Yes.

- Develop MacOSX chameleon.
Or maybe just a skin - not sure now how much skinning is usual on MacOSX
[i]unlike Windows and Linux, MacOS doesn't really
support different themes - there is a single
Apple "look and feel".
|
That is very good. In that case, all we need is to make some screenshots

probably getting the Apple look will only work through a
Cocoa application.
|
You can get Apple look for U++ even in Win32 quite easily...
| Quote: |
individual X11 apps are not directly accessible.
So that would be a another good reason to
get a native Cocoa path working.
|
Obviously, by MacOSX support I mean "native" support, which means Cocoa...
| Quote: |
I do not think the nice rounded buttons of the Apple UI
will be achieved through Quartz 2D; Cocoa would have
to be used instead (using the C to Obj-C bridge).
|
Actually, perhaps we do not even need bridge. Obj-C++ is still C++, right?
