Thread: How complete is it?

Dave,

Fresh install of CFE, not an upgrade.

UI elements are aligned to screen edges/corners as they would be on a smaller display.

CFE is ticking over using 3-4% of the CPU, not doing anything particularly obvious. Time continues to update sanely.

cmd-opt-esc causes it to quit immediately.

HTH, happy to try anything new you come up with.

Oh, also it looks like you might have an obi-wan with the left side of your buttons; there's a thin white stripe between the left half-circle and the button body itself.

Ok, I think I found the problem. Not seeing your screen, i'd have to guess (based on my case) that the elements were not where they were supposed to be.

The problem on my Mac Pro was attributed to the elements being bound to the wrong side This was actually causing the buttons to appear under the splash view so you couldn't click on them.

There is a weird artifact issue going on when I switch driver sides though (again, didn't see this on my MBP) that I still need to track down though.

Apparently my installer package is not compatible with the Tiger version of PackageMaker so I can't offer a new installer until some time this evening, but if you are familiar with Xcode feel free to grab the latest changes and compile it yourself to see if that fixed your issue as well. It will probably be late tonight (go home, dinner, dog to vet, spend time with wife who is gone for a week and a half starting tomorrow, then build new installer ) before I get a new installer.

Off to futz with the artifacting before I get out of here.

BTW - The lines on the buttons are a known issue. They are better on some screens/resolutions than others. It is an artifact how I piece together the background image for them. I would like to dynamically generate the backgrounds, but I don't understand all the image drawing and core image stuff (and haven't found anyone that does yet). I really need to take another crack at fixing it as they irritate the hell out of me.

Ok. I've bundled up 1.0a5 and put it up. See the change log thread for the details, but hopefully this fixes your issues.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Looks like it's working as intended, now; thanks.

Since you're still working on the UI, I'll zip the lip for a bit, but I'll keep watching. I would definitely ignore the button cosmetics issue for now and work functionality. 8)

Glad it works.

Any and all comments are welcome, just keep in mind that I may not jump on them depending on my feelings on the subject and what else i'm working on

I think i'm about done with the 1.0 UI and API, then I can focus on some plugins for a bit. I still need to:

1. Add a global preferences interface that the plugins can use so each doesn't have to do it's own thing.
2. Add a remote control interface.
3. Add custom NSTextField, NSTableView, NSButton (checkbox), NSButton (radio button), and scrolling NSView objects to facilitate more than just a button based interface.
4. Add a "config" button to the Menu screen and move the driver side swap button there as well as other configuration (app, not plugin) options I want to add.

And any little tweaks and bugs that come along

Thanks,
