@hastebrot I'm thinking about adding support for docking multiple views at the same time in the "editor area", and if you allow it, multiple docked components would show up as tabs. I think a Workspace that allows multiple tabs at the same time will not need the navigation buttons. Haven't thought this through yet though.

Hm... I'll play a little with that now.. I think that would be a pretty nice feature to support.

@hastebrot Do you agree that it makes sense to either support navigation with the back/forward buttons or tabs in the editor area? I don't see a good way to combine the two, or a use case for combining them.

back/forward and tabs seem different concepts to me

tabs are similar to the

window

menu for multi-document-apps

That's what I feel to. The workspace should support both "navigation schemes" though. I think I can always house the main component in a

TabBar

, but only show the tabs if navigation is disabled.

What should I call the property that describes the mode...

navigationMode

?

windowMode

?

documentMode

?

I like that.. either I have a boolean for NavigationMode, or I have an enum with mode =

Navigation

or

Tabbed

or something. Then it would be easier to introduce more modes if needed in the future.

yeah, there could be definitely more modes added in the future. enum would be better, I think

@hastebrot Sweet, enum it is then. I'll start with calling it

navigationMode

for now, thanks!

The Green Screen is awesome. I think that setup would be great for a "Live" code review like we did a few months ago. You could give your first impressions on a program so that others might be able to follow your thought process. The stream-of-consciousness might be really engaging

Yeah, it could be very cool 🙂

Twitch next!

Hehe

That's probably where you're headed by the time you add in the extra web stuff (metadata, etc)

@edvin @Ruckus What do you think of a "live styling" of a dark theme? Start with a plain program and make a dark version. I think this would catch a lot of eyeballs. It seems like I can't open a program without being offered a dark theme these days.

By "live styling" you mean creating it on the go and filming it?

Hard to do. I think most designers start with Photoshop before they implement the CSS.

When I did the styling for the GitHub Demo Browser I had the GitHub design to look at, so that was easy. Creating a whole new scheme from scratch, probably not so much.

greenscreen is a program I take it?

Maybe not that live then...prepare in advance, but go through the sequence of steps to convert each third-party component, each background, etc

That's probably a better way to do it.

@ron It's an actual green screen 🙂 Using Chroma Keying to filter out the background live.

My wife is going to have a heart attack when she comes down here...
