Just last weekend I went to a hack/makers event and was inspired to do some cool new effects on the Fyne Desktop (now renamed Tyde). To do that would be a big effort and would need some underlying capabilities in the toolkit… so I got to work!

Handing OpenGL to our developers!

It’s been on the cards for some time (see my first mockup), but I never got it to work as well as I would have liked. But with the help of some Claude Code sessions I was able to bridge the gap and got the code to a place I was happy with. And with a few more revisions and a couple of commits I was able to open a pull request for the new Shader graphical object!

Beautify Transitions

You can see all that in the video above, but before we wrap up it is well worth checking out the updates to my Slydes app as well. I use this new feature to make an outstanding new slide transition where the pages of the screen move around above a moving galaxy background! I really hope this will help to level up the presentations I am delivering this year.
