Very cool, great job, indeed. Sven PS: I like the message 'Please support VM devellopers to provide a headless mode' ;-) -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill

It was part of my battle plan to rule the world ;) We wanted with Nico to part it to Amber to get the Javascript part for free, then generate some XUL :) Anyway, really cool job, and impressive as well :) Ben On Oct 9, 2012, at 11:07 PM, StÃ©phane Ducasse wrote: > It looks really nice. > I imagine that Spec could generate XUL too. > > Stef > On Oct 9, 2012, at 9:48 PM, Pavel Krivanek wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I would like to introduce you Phobos - the XULRunner based Smalltalk >> framework for development of native GUI with standard look&feel for >> Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. >> >> It is based on Zinc, WebSockets and Seaside continuations.

You may replace it with your own Pharo 2.0 image, you only need to perform this code: Gofer it url: 'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents'; package: 'Zinc-HTTP'; package: 'Zinc-FileSystem'; package: 'Zinc-Tests'; package: 'Zinc-WebSocket-Core'; load. Gofer new squeaksource: 'Seaside30'; package: 'Grease-Core'; package: 'Grease-Pharo-Core'; package: 'Seaside-Pharo-Continuation'; load. Gofer new squeaksource: 'SCouchDB'; package: 'JSON'; load. Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'PavelKrivanek' project: 'Phobos'; package: 'Phobos-Core'; package: 'Phobos-XUL'; package: 'Phobos-HTML'; package: 'Phobos-Demo'; load. I haven't attached the changes and sources files because I wanted to see if it will bring some problems, how big the whole application will be then and because of space consumption. The application comes with Pharo Image, CogVM and XULRunner (that is almost whole Firefox) - that all makes it pretty big. Do not try to imagine one-click bundles for all platforms ;-) -- Pavel > > > thanks again, > > -C > > -- > Craig Latta > www.netjam.org/resume > +31 6 2757 7177 > + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS) > >

Unfortunately currently the Spec is too Morphic oriented and too closely linked with Morphic that it will require really huge effort to make it work. I will try to discuss it with Ben. -- Pavel On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 11:07 PM, StÃ©phane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr> wrote: > It looks really nice. > I imagine that Spec could generate XUL too. > > Stef > On Oct 9, 2012, at 9:48 PM, Pavel Krivanek wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I would like to introduce you Phobos - the XULRunner based Smalltalk >> framework for development of native GUI with standard look&feel for >> Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. >> >> It is based on Zinc, WebSockets and Seaside continuations.

How chatty is the communication between > the browser and the image? Quite a lot. The XUL is not sent to the client as XML string but in form of JSON objects (but there are good reasons to do it this way). But not all user events are sent from client to server. JavaScript sends only messages about execution of specified callbacks (for example 'oncommand' event for button). Some operations require several messages. For example if you click on a button that should send the result of a JavaScript expression to the Smalltalk, 3 messages are sent. -- Pavel > > frank > >> Cheers, >> -- Pavel >

It looks really nice. I imagine that Spec could generate XUL too.

Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] Phobos

There is nothing special on the VM used by Phobos and there is no real reason for such behavior because Phobos is only a web application. I suppose that the resizing fails because the CogVM is started from inside of the XULRunner application. But the main issue is that the Pharo window is displayed on OSX at all ;-) The demo image is not good for browsing of the code because it doesn't contain changes file. -- Pavel On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 10:36 PM, Craig Latta <craig(a)netjam.org> wrote: > > Very nice! > > Just FYI, on Mac OS 10.8.2 the Cog window doesn't redraw correctly > when resized, and becomes unresponsive.

Very nice! Just FYI, on Mac OS 10.8.2 the Cog window doesn't redraw correctly when resized, and becomes unresponsive. The default size is a bit small for exploring the code. thanks! -C -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 6 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547 (no SMS)
