Today I posted a reflection on 2019 for the Fyne project – it’s been a very busy year indeed. We are celebrating 9 releases (3 major), 37 contributors, 7300 stargazers on GitHub and a conference live streamed on YouTube – to read more head to the Fyne blog. It clearly would not be possible without the fantastic contributions of the community – developers, designers, testers … Continue reading Looking toward a Fyne 2020
I wanted to start looking at other uses for vector graphics in an application as I develop Fyne further. Then it came to me, a card game! I managed to find a great public domain set of graphics and whipped up a card back from the fyne logo. From there laying out a simple solitaire board was a piece of cake by just implementing fyne.Layout … Continue reading That’s a Fyne deck of cards
It’s cold outside and we need warming up – so I started work on updating the flame module. Flame is the second Enlightenment 0.17 modules that I have brought back to life. It should find a proper home in due course but for now you can build it by downloading directly from the Enlightenment git server. Happy holidays everyone! Continue reading Desktop ablaze
Yup it’s winter time and the temperature is dropping – but no snow outside. So I decided to let it snow indoors instead :). The Snow module is the first of a series of Enlightenment 0.17 modules that I am bringing back to life. It should find a proper home in due course but for now you can build it by downloading directly from the Enlightenment … Continue reading Snowing like it’s E17
At FOSDEM yesterday I was demoing the Enlightenment IDE that I have been working on. My laptop is a touchscreen and I had it in tablet mode for the demo, so far so good. Until a couple of sharp attendees noted that there was no multi-touch. Huh, neither it does. Enter rasterman – “Did you enable xinput2.2?”, erm no, no I didn’t… Passing –enable-xinput22 to … Continue reading Multi-touch on Enlightenment
It’s been quite some time so I wanted to provide an update on the EDI project. The aim was to make getting into Linux development as easy as possible, and to help developers learn how to builds apps using the EFL. Clearly that’s a grand plan and along the way there was a lot of challenges to overcome. The first major hurdle, beyond actually creating a … Continue reading EDI update and shiny new icon
The power of the APIs available to a linux developer is immense. To help illustrate I have a quote from wilsonk who is learning the EFL APIs: Well, I could probably make this thing get me coffee but is it worth the effort 🙂 It’s a good point – where do you even start? EDI – that’s where. We are building a brand new IDE for … Continue reading Taming the power of Linux development
A video of my EDI (Enlightenment IDE) presentation in Düsseldorf last month – not bad for my first E related appearance I think… Continue reading Recording of my EDI presentation at E Dev Day 2014
Another year another E developer day right? Almost. This time was different – I was up to present… Showing the guys how my IDE project was going and why they should all get involved in helping me out. This fitted the theme of the event quite well – Raster started the day by showing how much faster the EFL is growing than GTK+ or Qt … Continue reading Enlightenment Dev Day 2014 – Düsseldorf
“If you want to succeed then you need to immerse yourself in the problem” – wise advice from a business mentor of mine… My long serving Apple Macs run everything – work, media, side project coding and now VMs filled with Linux and Enlightenment. They are shiny and solid but have strange keyboard layouts, nonstandard hardware and a bad implementation of virtual desktops that get … Continue reading Accelerating the return to enlightenment (With linux on a Yoga 2 Pro)
