OK, I think it is the time to sit and discuss realistic plans for 611 release...

What is sure:

- linux printing
- new Draw
- Chameleon at least for WinXP

What I would like to see:

- at least some form of Chameleon for Linux
- PocketPC support
- Improved Topic++ / Class browser
- Some more docs Smile
- OpenGL for Linux (sorry for not resolving that DHCtrl thing so far, lack of time/energy...)

What would be nice, but most likely will not do it:

- initial MacOS X
- CtrlLib improvements (MDI, floating bars, RichEdit optimizations...)

What I would like to see at the time of 611 as well:

- improved PR - I see a couple of new possibilities, unable to employ them personally

Hi Mirek,

1. What is the current estimated timeframe for 611 release? (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 9 months).

2. Are the Chameleon features still planned to be complete for 611 release (on XP)?

3. Vista will apparently have lots of transparency/see-through on windows, controls, etc. Considering U++ is anti-native widget set, will this be possible to easily implement with your Chameleon features?

4. Have you started any OSX implementation, even on your private system?

Thanks.

1. 611 -> 11/2006. If we are not able to do it in that time, it will not be 611 (but e.g. 612...)

2. Chameleon/XP can be considered complete now. There might be improvements over time, but current level of "chameleonization" at least matches the one in Firefox or Openoffice. Download latest dev version to check it out. Report any problems - you can consider any difference from normal XP look as problem.

3. I hope that it will not be a problem, because all those nice effects are running on another level (internals of windows have single alpha). I believe that dev version would look native in Vista even now (but I have not checked yet - would be nice if somebody does).

4. Sorry, no. We are starting a work on PocketPC now Sad

Looks like somebody already checked:

Perhaps there will be some adjustments needed (Theming API is not very well documented), but generally I guess we are there...

Or maybe he's using vista theme for win xp Wink.

BTW being there... There is one incorrect thing in tabctrl theming. When mouse leaves sheet header (in up direction) and tabctrl is "SizePos()ed" in other (parent) ctrl - highlighting does not disappear - but it should.
I guess there must be some additional code in MouseLeave method to off that highlighting.
