Re: [Lazarus] Note to new high-DPI icons

[Vojtěch Čihák via Lazarus]

I mean dark OS theme. See attached screeenshot. It was blue before, it can be 
found on the wiki: 
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tutorial#The_Component_Palette
Such blueish theme is IMO unusual, the most common themes are light and dark 
grey (or black), sometimes with only a small saturation.
 
I didn't know about Ally. I saw issues with icon-patches on bugtracker opened 
by FTurtle, I thought he is author.

Which "dark theme"? Is Lazarus themed? Or do you mean OS theme? What if 
somebody selects a blue-ish theme?


FTurtle is not responsible for the palette icons; those were drawn by 
Ally, a user of the German Lazarus forum.

I assume you haven't read the message at all, since he did all that at
github, but ran code formatters over it. So that makes diff, any diff a
problem. 

And pull requests also don't solve that.

Use the Git clone (mirror) of the Lazarus (svn) repository. Git allows 
you to make local branch and local commits - invaluable in today's 
development (personal opinion, but agreed by many). You can then send 
pull requests - many Lazarus SVN developers seem to be willing to accept 
that, but confirm with the maintainers of that section of the project 
first. Alternative, you can ask git to generate a patch set by simply 
giving the starting and ending commit SHA1 values. It will generate many 
patch files in the order that they need to be applied.


  Lazarus Git mirror: https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus.git

To clone from the command line:

   git clone https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus.git

The above command only needs to be done once.

   git checkout -b my_features_branch
   // make your commits here

The above creates your own local branch were you place your local 
commits. Good advice - commit often!


   git format-patch -o /tmp/ origin/master..HEAD

The above will generate a patch set and output all the *.patch files 
into the /tmp/ directory.

  Graeme

Then layer them. Make patches for the most essential bits, and then reallign
your sources.

Afaik this was meant as a copy of that parser dedicated for chm that could
evolve with the package.  So if you need it more general, whip up a suitable
general version.

What does that make possible that currently is not possible? Do we really
have to spin each unit into a separate package? I don't see the point.

Note also that iirc CHM lzx and e.g. CAB lzx vary in some ways. (headers?)

But even bypassing that, what is the problem of having to instal 10 extra
units (150kb) to make a CAB decompressor?

The automatic conversions by FPC 3 could indeed mess things up.
However you should change such binary buffers to use TBytes or similar
in any case.


I think I had this discussion before: I'm not going to use TBytes until 
it offers the same convenience as an ansistring (i.e. easy 
concatenation, insertion and deletion, not to mention search and 
replace, etc.).
Besides, some of it is in 3rd party libraries (but I think they 
explicitly use ansistring, not the generic string type).



There have always been warnings against using String type
for binary data. In future your code may use $mode DelphiUnicode and
it breaks for sure.


There weren't when I started using them in delphi 20 years ago (with no 
dynamic arrays in sight).

Damn, it is added by me.
It is used only for function TCharacter.IsSurrogate(). Do you know a
replacement function without copying the whole unit from FPC 3.0?
LazUTF16 only has:
 function IsUTF16CharValid(AChar, ANextChar: WideChar): Boolean;
A fix could be committed to the 1.8 fixes branch as a special case
If no easy fix is found then I could add:
  if {$IF 
FPC_FULLVERSION<3}False{$ELSE}TCharacter.IsSurrogate(WideChar(OrgCharCode)){$ENDIF}
then
and the code works with FPC 2.6.4 as it did before my changes.

The call to TCharacter.IsSurrogate() fixes this issue only partly :
 https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32101
UTF8KeyPress is still not called. Somebody with better knowledge of
LCL-Win32 should fix it.

Maybe switching to FPC 3 is the right moment to fix the buffers, too.

OTOH I can always keep a copy of fpc-2.6.4 and lazarus 1.6.4 recompile 
if something goes wrong.

Ok. In future you can build the whole IDE with debug flags, for
example with the "Debug IDE" profile in Configure Build Lazarus
window.
Packages like LCL and LazUtils also get the same debug flags.
