I have posted another prerelease of Microwindows at:
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-0.88pre3.tar.gz
This version contains considerable enhancements which
are needed to get FLTK (Fast Light Tool Kit, a C++ widget
set) ported to Microwindows. Great progress has been made.
Almost all the widgets are at least operational, although more
work needs to be done. Screenshots of FLTK running on Microwindows
are available at:
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/ScreenShots/FLTK
I have posted a cut of fltk 1.0.7 hacked for Microwindows at:
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/fltk-pre3d.tar.gz
Thanks to Shane for the screen shots and the fonts work.
Enhancements to Microwindows in this cut include quite a few
win32 API new implementations, including complete region handling
including complex regions like round rectangle and ellipses,
update regions/clipping, valid/invalid area paint handling, polygon and
ellipse drawing, and font routines.
In addition I have added the Linux Penguin to the Microwindows
demo so that Microwindows can be better shown at various trade shows.
(It was recently displayed at the Embedded Systems Conference in Chicago,
and will be at several more in the next month)
For fun, I have added experimental palette animation. This works
only on 8bpp palettized displays, and the Microwindow screen fades
in on startup, as well as between console switches. It's quite cool.
A variety of bug fixes are included in this release, including a nasty
one which took many hours to find. The first 16 colors of the palette
were being overwritten if Microwindows was compiled with VTSWITCH=Y.
Also, portrait mode is working again.
