kotlinlang #tornadofx

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez at my work all the staff focused on using telegram, and we use our own bots for scheduling, reports, notification services and etc. Since July we decided to develop our own chat app, today released. Backend supports Atlassian integration, bots api, messaging and other basics. Development of Ui powered by tornado will take another decade but whole idea is - just if you want :)

And how is scaling works? I’m using MacBook Pro with 2880*1800 and ~220ppi, even on external screen (no matter of resolution, tested 1080p-5k) every button and label in my app suits its forms, but on XPS with 1920*1080 and Ubuntu texts are clipped, resizing of window is not allowed. I could make minimal width and height bigger, but it looks like there’s enough space to show at full

Idk maybe it’s better to detect maximal resolution and set optimal sizes binded to it, never faced such a problems on swift

Are you using images or vectors for the buttons? You might try fonts to help with scaling

I’m using labels

Don’t remember why, but it’s like

Copy code

button{
graphic = label(text)
}

do you have a particular font selected or are you falling back on a default?

Apologize for the delay - held up at work a bit today. Code is still missing from the 3 blank slides but this is the most updated version @carlw @thomasnield @edvin - and anyone else who was interested feel free to peep and ask any questions or tell me anything that you like or just tear it up hahaha

Just attended a coroutines talk by Hadi :) Very useful and I think it’s time to add it to TornadoFX. First JDK11, then coroutines.

does tornadfox use the kotlin-css an kotlin-styled libraries to generate the css?

Ruckus

09/12/2018, 2:25 PM

@Hamza No, it was written from scratch, though I did take some inspiration from kotlinx CSS.

Hamza

09/12/2018, 2:27 PM

alright

I was quite new to Kotlin when I wrote a lot of what is now in the CSS DSL, so there are plenty of ways it could be improved, but JavaFX CSS has some differences from standard CSS, so it pretty much has to be custom.
