Does anyone have a feel for how widely supported that spec is? I assume (since it derives from KDE circa 200x) that KDE will support it, but what about other WM systems?

Re: [fltk.general] ipad?
The simplest way to get FLTK working on modern day mobile devices would be to write a new back-end for MoSync (see: http://www.mosync.com/). The MoSync C/C++ API has everything FLTK needs - basic drawing primatives, event handling etc. I'm currently using it to make SmallBASIC run on android.

Re: [fltk.general] How to set an icon to the main window thatappear top left corner with the title?
Make sure you read the topic about Operating Issues carefully. http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/osissues.html It says there there that you must make any calls to icon _before_ you call your MainWindow-show(). If you don't follow this, you will be in a lot of despair :-) Cheers, Herman On 08/07/2012 05:26 PM, MacArthur, Ian (SELEX GALILEO, UK) wrote: I want to set an icon of my application to the top bar of the main window (top left corner above menu).

Sure; I think our (the fltk lib) use of the library would be ok, since it is all open source: my worry would be that our users might be inconvenienced, if they want to use fltk in a non-open app, and we bring in a dependency on a GPL'd code base that does not have our static linking exemptions and so forth. Then if they wanted to go ahead they'd be forced into buying a MoSync commercial license... Or maybe it's OK, I'm not at all clear on how the codebase would link to MoSync, though since it is GPL rather than LGPL I guess it would be tricky in some usage cases. ___ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
Re: [fltk.general] New HTML Widget
Just curious - has anyone been doing any work recently on an improved FLTK html widget? A quick trial of the existing help viewer widget indicates it's not likely to support enough HTML for my proposed uses, which raises the same general question already posed in this thread. Tkhtml3 is indeed a self-contained HTML rendering widget that has no external dependencies to speak of (beyond Tcl/Tk itself, obviously.) Converting it to FLTK is almost certainly a lot of work - one first has to understand what Tkhtml is doing (it's about 40,000 lines of code, and more than 2000 of them call things prefixed with Tcl_ or Tk_). It does have the considerable advantage of being license compatible with FLTK. Amaya - the W3C browser/editor is also licensed in a compatible fashion (I think - not sure where the actual rendering parts live), but it isn't immediately clear how much its dependencies are hooked into its core HTML renderer. Amaya has changed GUI toolkits at least once in its history that I can remember (it's currently using wxWidgets) so it's presumably possible to retarget it, but I have no real idea how much work it would be. My guess would be it's at least as much work as tkhtml would be. Webkit is certainly full featured, but it's sheer size and (probable) list of requirements on various platforms makes it a rather daunting prospect. It also uses LGPLv2 with (AFAIK) no static linking exception, which may also pose a problem. Dillo would in some ways be nearly ideal, since they already use FLTK, but they are GPL licensed and thus not currently a candidate. Has anyone ever approached the Dillo devs and asked if they would be willing to support relicensing the parts of their codebase necessary to create a CSS supporting Fl_Html rendering widget so it could become part of FLTK proper? They may or may not be interested in that possibility (it usually depends on the project and the goals of its devs) but if someone who could represent FLTK were willing to ask that would be a great first step.
