05/29/2018, 7:14 PMAnd the only three JavaFX items on the JDK10 release notes aren't moving me to upgrade to that either - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 7:16 PMTornadoFX is going to help the next 1-2 years running on an older 8 JDK. I see it like Kotlin bringing modernity in a Java 6 Android world. - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:22 PMthere are bug fixes - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:22 PMmy app looks slightly better on java 10 - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:22 PMbut it's only a minor thing - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 7:40 PM@mikehearn was that from a java 9 scaling fix or something new in 10? - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:41 PMno it's related to mac unified window styles - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:41 PMspeaking of which, has anyone seen a problem where setting the stage icon just doesn't work on osx? - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:42 PMi've set stage.icons to contain my images and stepping through the debugger i can see it pick up, load and rescale my icon all the way up to the native code. but ..... i still get the damn coffee mug - c

05/29/2018, 7:48 PMI've seen stage icons work on Linux, but seem to prefer the lowest res variant - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:55 PMturns out it's a known issue. stage.icons just doesn't work on a mac. sigh. - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 7:55 PMwhy is everything on macos so dependent on bundling. such a pain. - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 7:58 PMdid you use javafxpackager? - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:05 PMyes. - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:08 PMah ha - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:09 PMgood news: there's a new api in java 9 to do it in a supported cross platform way - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:10 PMhow the heck do I load a java.awt.Image?! blast from the past - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:11 PMthat works - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:12 PMgod, how stupid. this is something TornadoFX could really abstract developers from - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 8:24 PMi was looking over the AquaFX project. Were you thinking about something native like this to wrap up for the Mac? - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 8:24 PM@carlw uploaded a file: From AquaFX - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 8:25 PMNsImageIcon is an enum of all the Mac image names - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:38 PMwell just doing the right thing, with the APIs we already have, would be nice - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:38 PMthe old apple API for java 8 and the new java.awt.Taskbar API for java9+ - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:40 PMgrumble. the whole 8/9 transition hasn't been properly thought out or tested, it seems. i want to do something basic - use the old api on java 8 and the new api on java 9+ - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:40 PMideally without using reflection - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:41 PMand it just doesn't work... the whole multi-release jar thing, gradle, IDE, versioning features and so on - m
mikehearn
05/29/2018, 8:41 PMthey don't quite meet in the middle - c
carlw
05/29/2018, 8:43 PMyeah. i'll be on the sidelines for a while. i wasn't too crazy about the Java 7 and 8 compatibility too because I had to use a bunch of internals to do some basic things like tab order
