Compose Desktop does not seem to support the ClearType on Windows?

Q: How can I draw text on a

Canvas

? Can anyone show me some sample code?

Are there any updates on plans to unify publications for MPP and Android-only Compose? When writing libraries for Compose I have to have separate modules for MPP and Android-only Compose variants, and copy-paste all the code. Or maybe I'm missing something?

I have created simple

Row

with some

Text

and

IconButton

but

IconButton

is going outside the

Row

, no idea why?

Row(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().border(1.dp, Color.Red).padding(8.dp),
    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceBetween,
    verticalAlignment = <http://Alignment.Top|Alignment.Top>,
) {
    VeryBigText(modifier = Modifier.border(1.dp, Color.Yellow))
    IconButton(   onClick = {}, modifier = Modifier.requiredSize(24.dp).border(1.dp, Color.Green)) {
        Icon(
            Icons.Default.Close,
            contentDescription = "Dismiss",
            modifier = Modifier.requiredSize(16.dp)
        )
    }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Let's say I have the following code:

Row(Modifier.background(color = MaterialTheme.colors.primary)) {
            Text(
                tabSelected.toString(),
                color = MaterialTheme.colors.onPrimary,
                style = MaterialTheme.typography.h6,
                modifier = Modifier.padding(10.dp).weight(1f)
            )
    }

How can I get the size (width and height) of the row after it is rendered?

Left button is how Figma draws it, right button is screenshot from DC app. There are two issues here. First is sizing, the distance between guide lines is exactly 64 (Figma size units), and you can see that center of the border goes exactly along guides, while DC app has slightly bigger size (the size of the button is 32.dp, so at Retina resolution it should be same 64px). Second problem is quality of the rounding corners rendering. You can clearly see (especially if you zoom it), that they appear thicker than straight line, and anti-aliasing is somewhat of mediocre quality.

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to set a custom Cursor icon. (i.e. Pointer, Hand, Crosshair, etc.) Want to put a hand cursor when I hover over an actionable item

I have a Gradle task that depends on the

packageMsi

task.

packageMsi

works fine when run by itself, but when I run my task that depends on it

packageMsi

fails with

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':packageMsi' (type 'AbstractJPackageTask').

File 'C:\my_workspace\grim-locations\build\compose\default-icons\0.4.0-build173\icon-windows.ico' specified for property 'iconFile' does not exist.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I use

DisposableEffect

to cleanup some resources hosted by a state object. When I close the window using the system close button, my

onDispose {}

isn't called (but `Window`'s

onDismissRequest {}

is). Is it expected? I feel it buggy, I would expect composable being disposed explicitly, no?

Does anyone directly reuse Compose code between Android and Desktop, or do most people write this code separately (one platform only)?

🎉 I've created a kinetic clock using Compose Desktop's Canvas API! :compose: :magic_wand: GitHub : https://github.com/theapache64/klokk

In Android Studio (Artic Fox / Canary) there is a 'Preferences/Editor/Color Scheme/Compose' section (which simply allow to specify the look and feel of

@Composable

calls). I am not seeing it in IntelliJ Utlimate 2020.3.3. Is there a way to add such an entry?

I have difficulties with

DropdownMenu

positioning.

x

coordinate of the menu is correct but the vertical position is wrong always stick to the bottom of the window. It seems close to https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/195 which is closed though. And the mechanic wasn't the same as of now it seems. You can see in the :thread-please: the details (code & screenshots)

Could we use

LocalSaveableStateRegistry

to store Scrolle state and simular values across the whole application? And if thats the case can anyone describe how it's API is intendet to be used / whats its lifecycle is? Findings in the 🧵

Is the

svgResource

function expected to work in the context of a Compose Desktop app running in an IntelliJ plugin? I tried adding a simple SVG into the

resources

directory, using the IDEA plugin example, then referenced it in an

Icon

. I get this error now from

openResourceStream

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource circle.svg not found
	at androidx.compose.ui.res.Resources_desktopKt.openResourceStream(Resources.desktop.kt:23)
	at androidx.compose.ui.res.DesktopSvgResources_desktopKt.svgResource(DesktopSvgResources.desktop.kt:48)

	at com.jetbrains.compose.ComposableSingletons$ComposeDemoActionKt$lambda-1$1.invoke(ComposeDemoAction.kt:54)

What plans are about swing, will it be a fundamental of compose like now, or will it be discarded and replaced in the distant future?

I wish to make a loading animation windows during loading, and exit on application launch success, but when I

AppManager.focusedWindow?.close()

the loading animation windowss, it will entirely exit What's the best way to solve it?

I am not able to get the

compose-jb/templates/multiplatform-jb

to build on my machine. I have the project SDK set to Java 11, but every time I sync my

build.gradle.kts

, the build shows me errors on the (common) and (android) build.gradle.kts. It looks like something is wrong with how I'm importing the SDK, or maybe I have a project structure field wrong. Does this look familiar to anybody else? Cloned the most up-to-date repo and for the life of me I cannot get it to build (with zero code changes) errors in thread

how to I provide argument lines to the run target? I would like to enable assertions (

-ea

).

Hi I'm trying to create this background, do you know how I create a surface for each part my code:

Surface(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
    Box {
        Canvas(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
            val midWidth = size.width / 2
            val midSpace = 200f * density
            val leftPoint = midWidth - (midSpace / 2)
            val rightPoint = midWidth + (midSpace / 2)
            val leftPath = Path().apply {
                moveTo(size.width, 0f)
                lineTo(rightPoint, 0f)
                lineTo(leftPoint, size.height)
                lineTo(size.width, size.height)
                close()
            }
            val rightPath = Path().apply {
                moveTo(0f, 0f)
                lineTo(rightPoint, 0f)
                lineTo(leftPoint, size.height)
                lineTo(0f, size.height)
                close()
            }
            drawPath(leftPath, Color.Red)
            drawPath(rightPath, Color.Black)
        }
        val text = "ABILITY TO"
        Text(
            text = text,
            textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
            modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center),
            style = MaterialTheme.typography.h1,
            fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,
            color = Color.Black

Hi everyone! We are looking at providing a DI module for (Jetpack/JetBrains) Compose with #kodein. My question is simple: Does JetBrains Compose releases are following the Kotlin ones ? Or the latency is as large as I should consider not including it in our main builds to avoid blocker ?

I also have a question regarding the use of Desktop Compose to build KMP projects. For the Android part, how does this works with the last stable AGP (currently 4.0.2) instead of the 7.0.0-alpha used for Android application development ?

Hello! I have kotlin multiplatform with several JVM targets. When I'm applying org.jetbrains.compose gradle plugin, it applies to all JVM targets. I need this plugin aplIyed to only specified targets. I was trying to find this possablity in source of this plugin, but found only selectivity by compilation platform (in master there is logic excludin js and native targets). Is there any plans to include this customization in gradle plugin extension, such that user can make appropriate settings in his project's gradle script. (reference to current selectivity logic: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/b00aa7d5d3052daf54d8408e239ff116f3f32[…]lin/org/jetbrains/compose/ComposeCompilerKotlinSupportPlugin.kt)

I'm having an issue with my compose app and too much CPU being used. There should be less than 1% of the CPU used but it is up to 20% in some cases and other apps slow down quite a bit. I do not believe this is a problem with compose or coroutines, but it may be a problem with how I am using them. The below links with line numbers show the chain of how I'm using a task that runs in a background coroutine. Does anyone know how I can optimize this? 1.

LaunchEffect wrapper I used in item 1. https://github.com/recursiveg87/Grim-Locations/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/io/grimlocations/framework/util/LaunchedEffect.kt To give some more background on what I'm trying to do here. I am detecting if an app is running, and if it is I check if a file was changed, if it was then I load the file's contents into the compose app.

Hi! I've published a Compose library that focusing on writing the cross-platform application in pure Compose, and bring similar functionality of Jetpack ViewModel, LiveData, and Navigation to Jetbrains Compose, the source code is here: https://github.com/Tlaster/PreCompose

Question: I tried the AsyncProfile but IMO, its not that good as android profiler, so do we have similar profiling tool available for CfD/JVM apps? 🤔

Let's say I have a call to

getUser(): Result<User>

, what is the idiomatic way of displaying that in the UI? Before error handling was necessary, I had something like:

val (user, setUser) = remember { mutableStateOf<User?>(null) }

Button(onClick = { scope.launch { setUser(getUser()) } })

if (user != null)
  // display the user

But now that there's a Result in the way, I'm unsure what would be the “compose way” of doing things.
