I was just wondering what the plans are for implementing the tool- bar (I've seen it on the to-do list). Is it going to be a standard (native) toolbar that implements the elisp tool-bar API to allow adding new items?
Plan is to use native toolbar. There are two hold-ups that make it not a trivial job though:
1) Currently toolbar is rendered through the standard pipeline just like a text-line in any buffer. This must be worked around.
2) Most toolbar images are XPMs. I do not like either the solution of attempting to link Emacs with the X11 libraries (requiring these be around) used in Carbon Emacs or bundling the XPM source code in wholesale as used in Carbon XEmacs. Probably converting all toolbar (and other) images to a more modern, platform-independent format won't work either though, because there will always be new images in external packages that are still XPM.
I've been struggling with the Carbon tool-bar lately, and it looks like it difficult if not impossible to make it look nice (i.e. standard). Having a native tool-bar would be fantastic, and I'd basically not waste my time on the Carbon configuration if I knew the Cocoa solution is coming.
I haven't had much time to work on the Cocoa port lately... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
