kotlinlang #compose-desktop

Is there any proper way to share Android & Desktop sources yet? Most of my components will be the same. As far as I can tell, we can't use a common source set because the desktop/android dependencies are different, even though the APIs are mostly identical

How long is it going to take for me to remember that searching by class name is not going to show my

@Composable

functions 🤦‍♂️

I realized that

LocalAppWindow.current.height

is the Dp height of the window (as Int) INCLUDING the OS window title, right? Is there a target OS independent way to decide the height of the window title? (or is it always 28.dp ?) I wanna determin the max "usable" height of the window, which seems to be LocalAppWindow height MINUS OS window title ...

BTW I find it a bit "disturbing" that

LocalAppWindow.current.(width|height)

are of datatype

Int

but represent height|width in

Dp

... so if you wanna have e.g. the window width in Float to compare it to a

Size

Offset

you have to do

LocalAppWindow.current.width * LocalDensity.current.density

Even more at the "root" of all Apps:

fun main() = Window(title = "Compose for Desktop", size = IntSize(300, 300)) {

The window doesn't have an IntSize of 300, 300 ... in fact it has a DpSize of 300, 300 and an

IntSize(600, 600)

(if density == 2.0f)

So, is it possible to compile Compose Desktop only with IntellijIDEA and not with Android Studio?

`BasicTextField`'s

cursorBrush

parameter defaults to

SolidColor(Color.Black)

I think it should default to some MaterialTheme value ... otherwise it is very hard to spot in darkModes 🙂 (btw is this chat the right place to report such things??)

Are there any emerging conventions for localization in Compose Desktop (and also hopefully Web)?

Hi all, i am trying to avoid a 1.4.32 -> 1.5.0 kotlin update by building my multiplatform module with compose-desktop “0.4.0-build208”. For some reason I still get this error:

> Task :shared:compileKotlinJvm
e: This version (1.0.0-beta08) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.5.0 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.4.32 which is not known to be compatible.  Please fix your configuration (or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don't say I didn't warn you!).

Any hints where “1.0.0-beta08" could be coming from? And how to set the Compose Compiler version in non-android projects?

I tried to change in my project Kotlin 1.4.32 and Compose build190 to Kotlin 1.5.0 and Compose build210... When I rebuild my project I receive Internal compiler error (look in the thread). I tried other earlier builds including build198 with Kotlin 1.4.32 and had the same error. When I returned to build190, error disappeared. What should I do to upgrade to the newer builds?

I want to display a large block of text (a very long line essentially) word wrapped on the screen. If I put the text into a Text component then there is no scrolling, if I use a BasicTextField I get scrolling but there doesn’t appear to be any scroll bars. Is there a way to fix either of these issues? Thanks

I am trying to let Typography TextStyles (for body, h1, subtitle, ...) *color*s to depend on darkMode light Mode with switching while App is running. But on switching the TextStyle colors are not honoured ... what's the way to achieve this?

Window {
        DesktopTheme {
            MyCustomDeskMaterialTheme {
                MinRootContent()
                ...
@Composable
fun MyCustomDeskMaterialTheme(content: @Composable () -> Unit) {
    MaterialTheme(
        colors = if (isDarkTheme()) DarkColorPalette() else LightColorPalette(),
        typography = if (isDarkTheme()) DarkTypography() else LightTypography()
    ) {
        ...

fun DarkTypography() : Typography {
    val orig = Typography()
    return orig.copy(
            subtitle1 = orig.subtitle1.copy(color = DarkColorPalette().onBackground),
            subtitle2 = orig.subtitle2.copy(color = DarkColorPalette().onBackground),
            body1 = orig.body1.copy(color = DarkColorPalette().onSurface),
            body2 = orig.body2.copy(color = DarkColorPalette().onSurface))
}

fun LightTypography() : Typography {
    val orig = Typography()
    return orig.copy(
            subtitle1 = orig.subtitle1.copy(color = LightColorPalette().onBackground),
            subtitle2 = orig.subtitle2.copy(color = LightColorPalette().onBackground),
            body1 = orig.body1.copy(color = LightColorPalette().onSurface),
            body2 = orig.body2.copy(color = LightColorPalette().onSurface))
}

fun DarkColorPalette() = darkColors(
    primary = Solarized.Base1,
    ...

when accessing it with e.g.

MaterialTheme.typography.subtitle2

font has always the color of the mode app started with

If I understand correctly, the android related dependencies are also pulled in as part of Compose Desktop build? If so, what's general approach used then to only depend on those for both?
