Is there a way to customize the

Tray

?

Does exist something similar to "Toast" for displaying simple notifications or bubbles to the user in Compose Desktop?

For someone want to implement custom title bar in compose desktop: 1. the JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime is required 2. Access

java.awt.Window$CustomWindowDecoration

by reflection, maybe you need

Unsafe

to access it in

JBR-17

There are some sample codes for it: 1. CustomWindowDecorationAccessing 2. UnsafeAccessing 3. JBWindow and MainToolBar in different platform 4. About JetBrainsRuntime 5. Screenshots

Is the long term plan to replace awt with skiko (to whatever extent possible)?

Whats the preferred method of adding a CoroutineScope to a Viewmodel in Desktop code? In Android we have the lifecycle aware ones. I want to instantiate the ViewModel via Koin or KodeinDI in the Composable. But how do I pass a Composable scoped CoroutineScope which will get cancelled when the Composable is removed?

As a little challenge I’ve created a Desktop App to help me debug the UI State from my Android app. Having the possibility to use jb-compose (and the knowledge from Jetpack Compose) was a game changer! If you have the time, find more information here: https://github.com/GuilhE/JsonBroadcaster. 🙂

I feel that the decision to implement tooltips via composition is not the best idea. It interferes with the layout by forcing a Box where I didn’t want one.

Are there any snapshot builds published for Jewel? Or would the recommendation right now be to just copy the sources into my project to try out for my Intellij plugin?

Is there Compose Desktop version atm that works with Kotlin 1.8.0-RC?

Hey I know that I can load a svg file from the file system using painterResource, is it possible to display an SVG when e.g. having the raw data as a string?

Cache data file location As part of my app I want to create some files to cache data and/or save configurations. Is there a preferred way to do this? I naively created a folder in the root and added files there, which ofc works when running from the IDE, but when I run as a MacOS app it's not happy, and I imagine it either being a file permission issue or that I'm not allowed to create a folder in that location, which in some sense also is permission related.

Is something wrong with the SnackBar test code from the official guide? I'm trying to display one in Compose-Desktop and does not work, nothing appears on the screen:

@Composable
fun test() {
    val scaffoldState = rememberScaffoldState()
    val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
    Scaffold(
        scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
        floatingActionButton = {
            var clickCount by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
            ExtendedFloatingActionButton(
                text = { Text("Show snackbar") },
                onClick = {
                    // show snackbar as a suspend function
                    scope.launch {
                        scaffoldState.snackbarHostState.showSnackbar("Snackbar # ${++clickCount}")
                    }
                }
            )
        },
        content = { innerPadding ->
            Text(
                text = "Body content",
                modifier = Modifier.padding(innerPadding).fillMaxSize().wrapContentSize()
            )
        }
    )
}

Maybe is not compatible with Compose-Desktop?

How do I pass the

-dontwarn

option to proguard? edit: It seems someone reacted with "Not Kotlin", but this is quite literally from the Compose plugin. There's no

proguard.gradle.ProGuardTask

as the proguard docs would suggest, and the compose docs also don't mention how to customize it.

Hi, does someone have any official or good guide link about how to use MVVM (ViewModel) in compose-desktop? Thank you.

Which is the best architecture to work with compose-desktop? maybe MVC or MVP are better than MVVM this time?

is there firebase crashlytics analog for compose desktop?

Is any part of the IntelliJ New UI being implemented with Compose Desktop, or is it all Swing still?

Async image loading I did a quick search and didn't find anything here, but I'm curious if people use a library or some expect/actual implementation for async image loading?

Hey! I couldn't find anything about this problem here so maybe someone can help me When I resize window, my compose layout resizes with lags. But if I change the window size slowly it works +- ok but if I change it fast, it lags. It's not a complex layout - just a

fillMaxSize

black box. I thought it's on debug build only but on distributable production build it reproduces too

Hello guys, does anyone here have tried to apply TTS ( Text To Speech ) on their desktop compose project?

I am getting crashes when using the @Preview annotation in IntelliJ and using Duration methods. These have been stabilized in Kotlin 1.6 and my app runs fine when just building. Apparently Compose preview runs on 1.5.30? Does anyone know where I can change that?

I’m using compose multiplatform in one of my projects at work, and I can’t get the AS Dolphin Layout Inspector to work. I’ve added

compose.uiTooling

to my androidMain and enabled view attributes in developer settings, but whenever I check the Layout Inspector, I only see the top level container view. When I expand it, I only see DisposableEffect and two SideEffects (which I’m not directly using).

Any way to show a

wrapContentWidth

snackbar? Fixed-width works, but not wrap. The default

fillMaxWidth

behavior isn’t really appropriate for the desktop.

How do you achieve smooth scroll on desktop?

hi all, is there WorkManager analog in windows? (to make server sync periodically)

Hey all, question about project structure for Compose Desktop + Ktor (JVM). Considering having 2 separate JVM modules inside of a Kotlin Multiplatform project doesn’t seem to be supported right now, I figured to have Compose desktop be the main JVM target for the Multiplatform project, and add a separate module inside of the project under the default

id("application")

plugin. When doing this however, I somehow can’t seem to get a reference to the

commonMain

module inside of the Multiplatform project. Is this scenario supported or should I also consider adding another separate

common

module to be shared between the 2?

Has anyone managed to create a

Popup

on Compose for desktop that works like a

Dialog

on Compose for Android? I'm missing two features: shading the content behind the

Popup

and clicking on that content dismissing it without also having clicking on the

Popup

itself causing it to be dismissed.

androidx.compose.material.AlertDialog

doesn't do either of these.

Does someone know any relatively polished real-life example of Compose Desktop app, doesn't matter whether it's open sourced or not?

After moving kotlin code belonging to a

jvm/android

project to a

multiplatform(jvm/android/ios/js)

project, I get the following compile error:

Task :compileKotlinJs FAILED
e: Unresolved reference: javaClass

and

Task :compileKotlinUikitX64 FAILED
e: Unresolved reference: javaClass

Is there any equivalent to javaClass in kotlin native. Or something that return the name of the class. I need it for debuging purposes
