Can I use WindowState to set initial size of application window, or should I be using a different code now?
Thanks.

11/04/2021, 12:44 PMHey @Kebbin, here's my Desktop App start code which features
Dp Copy code
fun main() = application {
MainWindow(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication)
}
@Composable
fun MainWindow(
onCloseRequest: () -> Unit
) = Window(
onCloseRequest = onCloseRequest,
title = "<redacted>",
state = WindowState(
placement = WindowPlacement.Floating,
size = DpSize(800.dp, 600.dp)
),
resizable = true
) {
MainView(viewModel = ViewModelModule.mainViewModel)

That's a great help.

11/04/2021, 9:42 PMNo never touched it; sounds fun though 🙂

Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:42 PMYeah I thought so. There's an overlay twgl that simplifies it.
Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:43 PMYour tip on Filament got me looking down that line.

11/04/2021, 9:43 PMI see this - have you found any examples built with it?

Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:45 PMOh! That looks interesting! Might be able to combine the two!

11/04/2021, 9:46 PMNot sure you'd need to this is already an official Kotlin wrapper for WebGL... if I were you I'd start with that and roll your own conveniences.
darkmoon_uk
11/04/2021, 9:47 PMEh, IDK, depends what's available in TWGL.
darkmoon_uk
11/04/2021, 9:47 PMWell there are two interesting routes to explore anyway; maybe you could use both!

11/04/2021, 9:48 PMThe rotating cubes background in the TWGL site is a positive sign 😆

Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:48 PMYeah, I meant Kotlin and WebGL! TWGL looked an easy way to use WebGL, but if it's already in Kotlin....
Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:49 PMYes, I think it was well done. Certainly deverbosificated it!

11/04/2021, 9:50 PMI found an element array code sample that clicked with defining my layouts too...
Kebbin
11/04/2021, 9:56 PMJust can't see it now looking from my phone. It was an example function that defined an array and push(), peek(), and pop() sub functions.
It showed how I can add items to a list that I can display on screen and serialise to a file.
Just got to flesh it out from there I think.
