Hi, I need some advice on how to migrate some code made with the 0.4.x and below Window API to the new API. I have a custom clickable modifier that takes a click event, gets the x and the y of the click event inside the window, and compares it to the LocalAppWindow.current width and height so that it gives me a % value of where it was clicked. I cant find a good way to do this in the new Window Api, as LocalAppWindow was deprecated.

I’ve been playing around with building a TouchBar API for Compose for Desktop. It’s only a very rough proof of concept, but it was fun to figure out. There’s demo videos and code snippets, as well as a link to the whole repo, in this twitter thread. https://twitter.com/zachklipp/status/1426790034988945413?s=20

Exploring the use of compose desktop for a project I'm working on. Would like it to be a menu bar app on macos and a system tray app in Windows. Are there any examples / tutorials available? Thanks

Hello, I have a question. I have seen that some of the built-in components in Compose are inline functions. When is it a good idea to make own composable functions inline, when hot?

Does compose for desktop support ConstraintLayout as of now?

I'm trying to understand how to make layouts responsive when resizing. I'm trying to build this spotify look-a-like for desktop, all I have is nested Columns, Rows, Boxes and no support for constraint layout yet. In second image, when I try to resize to small window size, it lays views almost on top of each other instead of hiding the complete bottom player. Am I missing anything ?

I tried to add keyboard shortcuts to the Menu Item of my MenuBar but it didn't work. It seems that the functionality is not implemented yet. Is there a workaround?

Hi, I'm using Jetpack Compose for desktop application. How to choose folder (folder pick) ? please help me with a snippet of code

⚠️ Developing with Compose for Multiplatform? (e.g. Desktop + Android) You may have encountered a long-standing bug, that default parameters in

expect

/

actual

do not play nice with the Compose compiler - meaning you can't use default parameters values at all! This is a major bug/limitation, since

@Composable

functions often rely on many default parameters to have a usable API. Please consider voting here.

Hi everyone. I understand that if I develop a KMM-Compose library, Android developers would have to add "org.jetbrains.compose" plugin in their app module to prevent duplicate class errors. On the other hand, in my android specific libraries that also use compose, this plugin is not needed when a KMM-Compose library is added as a dependency. That's really confusing to me.. My actual question is: "Is there any other way that Android developers can apply in their projects to prevent duplicate class errors without using org.jetbrains.compose plugin"?

Hello, I am running into a issue with setting a icon for my window, I believe its because of a incompatibility with the Swing Laf library I use called DarkLaf. I am wondering if this needs to be fixed on the Compose side or the DarkLaf side. There is a exception when window tries to open, I have added it to the thread.

Hi everyone, is there a way to define release and debug build variants?

In the CodeViewer example on Github there is code that sets the mouse cursor that looks like this

AppWindowAmbient.current!!.window.cursor = Cursor(Cursor.E_RESIZE_CURSOR)

This is for an early release of Desktop, I was using the 0.3.0 release and changed the code to be this:

LocalAppWindow.current.window.cursor = Cursor(Cursor.E_RESIZE_CURSOR)

But now LocalAppWindow has been deprecated and I’m wondering if there’s any way to set the cursor in the current (alpha) versions of Desktop? Thanks

Should menu shortcut keys work? I have a menu that looks like this

MenuBar {

Menu("File") {

Item(

)

}

}

The menu works but I can’t get the shortcut to work (this is on a Mac) on the alpha build.

Do you use dependency injection library for your Desktop app? If so what is it?

Hi everyone The preview feature is available in compose for Desktop like compose on Android

How do we change this icon for the mounted DMG image on macOS?

Does Compose provide any platform independent way to create an ImageBitmap from an encoded byte array? Currently I use two different implementations of that: On Android I use

override fun imageBitmapFromBytes(encodedImageData: ByteArray): ImageBitmap {
    val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodedImageData, 0, encodedImageData.size)
    return bitmap.asImageBitmap()
}

and on Desktop I use

override fun imageBitmapFromBytes(encodedImageData: ByteArray): ImageBitmap {
    return Image.makeFromEncoded(encodedImageData).asImageBitmap()
}

but I think something like this actually belongs into Compose itself. One also might add a similar method to construct an ImageBitmap from a raw bitmap represented as a byte array plus some image info needed to reconstruct the image. What do you think?
