No dependency on WGL

Juha-Matti Tapio — Sun, 28 Sep 2003 09:13:11 -0000

The OpenGL renderer on 0.95 depends on WGL which is
available only on Windows implementations. Support for
other platforms such as Mac and Linux would be nice.

Load layout via XML file

Otto Bommer — Sun, 04 May 2003 18:27:10 -0000

It would be nice to load a complete GUI via an XML file.
Such a file could have the following structure

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PyUI xmlns="http://pyui.sourceforge.net">
<Desktop width="800" height="600" fullscreen="true">
<Frame>

</Frame>
</Desktop>

Preferred widget sizes

Chris Rodrigues — Thu, 03 Apr 2003 16:54:54 -0000

I have found it quite a nuisance to have to iteratively adjust pixel
placement and sizing of widgets to get a good-looking dialog box.
So, I propose that widgets have "preferred sizes" that layout
managers will attempt to honor.

Widgets could have a function "getPreferredSize" that returns the
widget's recommended (w,h) size. The Base implementation would be
to return the widget's current size, but it is overriden, for example, by
text
buttons, which are usually fixed-height. One way layout managers
could honor this is by checking whether the preferred width or
height of a widget is smaller than the size allocated to it; if so, then it
will only make the widget that size, and it will center the widget within
its space.

If this is implemented, then there should also be a way of saying that
a widget does not have a preferred size, for example by returning a
(None, None) tuple.

Edit Box Need Enable/ReadOnly

Michael Dorsett — Thu, 27 Feb 2003 21:39:43 -0000

EditBox needs a "ReadOnly" type setting or just enable
like the buttons have. That way the prog. can set the
value, but not the user

Desktop Window

Sean Riley — Mon, 23 Dec 2002 19:25:13 -0000

Need to have an implicit "desktop window" that is always behind all the
other windows. This window should stay on the bottom - be drawn last
and be the last window to accept events.

This would be useful
for using PyUI over a view into a 3D or 2D world that is rendered with
openGL or pygame.

installer

make an installer to install PyUI and dependancies

toolbar widget

Sean Riley — Thu, 30 May 2002 15:59:03 -0000

A toolbar widget with buttons on it. This could be made dockable
within framed windows...

menubars within frames

Sean Riley — Thu, 30 May 2002 15:58:27 -0000

Menubars that can be placed within Framed windows instead of at
the top of the screen like the current MenuBar.
