I love StreGUI so far. Here are some notes on things I see that can be improved/changed.
1. The GUI functions should all be put into one Blitz document and examples should include that. Else, others will have to manually delete the example source for anything they code to work.
2. A good idea is to comment the StreGUI functions to describe their function, parametes, and usage. This is obvious, but it helps tremendously.
3. Obviously this is in its early stages, but just for the record, some new gadgets you should implement are:
- Progress bars
- Taskbar
- Start Menu
I'm starting a small project to make a hacking sim, not unlike Uplink. I need to use a GUI library (as having windows and "open applications" are the biggest part of it) and I already experimented with Ngui, but it's not easy to use as it's documented in French. A number of other GUI libraries are either lacking in features I need or just don't have any kind of style (BBGad would work, but where's the class in the interface? There's no fashion!).
I like how StreGUI is coming along, and even though it's not yet the easiest to code for (not because of lack of documentation, it's the commands), it's the one I like the most so far. Keep working on it!
