Looking good, both for the existing state and for the future prospects : looking forward to the pre-built image. Thanks for expanding on this topic, which I recall had been touched in some of the 22.x release notes. In the coming months I might get some ideas maturing in my head for the "right hand side UI' ; in order to get on the keyboard and code said ideas myself I would normally have to install Linux and the Genode ARM toolchain, but now that I say it out loud, maybe there's an easier way : prototyping GUI ideas directly on x86_64 with my existing setup (and probably in Qemu). That's what I was doing during my brief contract stint on LVGL, I was using the SDL-based 'device simulator' makefile most of the time, before building/uploading an actual target binary build to the device to test 'for real' and refine my code, We'll see what my future holds in terms of spare time, and whether or not I can think of UI designs that improve on the existing in significant ways. Thanks for all you do ! Cedric _______________________________________________ Genode users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.genode.org/listinfo/users
