Re: [MiNT] AES desktop extension



Hi!

Well, this proves that it is not possible to write an application to work on all these...

Just not call AES in userdef! for compatibility, you should not need, what do you want to do that need this?

Hmm, for example for placing an HTML content (using Highwire rendering) to the desktop? Browsing the magazine fullscreen. Having anything on the desktop seems to me like a nice feature. ;)

Imagine javascript calculator directly on your desktop ;)) Or something...

It is not a problem to send the 'desktop redraw', but rather handle the redraw action by the desktop application.

Ok, but why would you take place of the desktop application? Do you wan't take control for desk or for all applications?

No, I just want to write a desktop app and I see this as logical way how things could work more logicaly.

In fact in modern AES since TOS 4 it's possible you can take the object tree from the desktop and you should able to change the desk (not very clean) but possible for example to do a truecolor picture to a desk that not support this, it work fine (except with Jinee that is badly write and directly write texte of icon on object 0 rather stay system do it with icons! (really I don't know why?!))

I don't understand you here, but I think I know what is possible pretty well now.

best regards
