Hi,
We are happy to announce the first preview version of Brick, a new widget set created from scratch on top of Bloc.
Brick is being developed primarily by Alex Syrel (together with Alain Plantec, Andrei Chis and myself), and the work is sponsored by ESUG. Brick is part of the Glamorous Toolkit effort and will provide the basis for the new versions of the development tools.
Brick's goal is to provide a beautiful looking widget set, and the default look is based on material design. The widgets are theme-able.
(whoops, slip of the <enter> key) Interesting to read about Z-depth [1] use in Material Design ... "In addition to the X and Y properties, views in Android now have a Z property. This new property represents the elevation of a view, which determines: The size of the shadow: views with higher Z values cast bigger shadows. The drawing order: views with higher Z values appear on top of other views." So morphic has a Z-order but I think not a Z-depth. Is that be something we should be aiming for?
