Latest release already 4 years ago ... so it seems no longer ative.
If you extract the .gem, there are several examples. These are
the things I want to bring to your attention, the examples. They
work on my linux machine too, so it is fairly old code but still
works.
Here above ^^ is one example currently being drawn. It is basically
using the draw functionality of Gdk/GC in gtk. I think you
are doing something similar in libui or across the whole
glimmer suite (e. g. the polygon thing you did; I am not aware
of how far you progressed, e. g. I saw the polyogns and
stuff but I am not sure how many animated components
are added to glimmer yet).
I am trying to polish the code base of oekaki and port it to ruby-gtk3
but I'd have to read up on what things changed between gtk2
and gtk3, so I am not sure when I can do so (just switching
to gtk3 does not work, it has an issue with Gdk::GC or something).
But the old examples in ruby-gtk2 work fine still and I think it may be
itneresting to you to just get a quick glance and overview, in the
event that you may want to have more custom control
elements and drawings and what not. These could all
be nice for UI elements too, e. g. an animated border
or something. Or even just a glimmer logo drawn or
something. :dagger:
So this is really a "just information" and "give ideas",
not so much a "implement everything" issue again. :D
Heya Andy,
This is just (or mostly) information.
There is a fairly old gem called: oekaki
It requires gtk2 aka ruby-gtk2. Not sure if gtk2 works well on OSX but anyway, if you ever have time, install the gem and try it out:
https://rubygems.org/gems/oekaki
Download link to the latest gem:
https://rubygems.org/downloads/oekaki-0.1.7.gem

Try to run these examples.
One fast screenshot for one of these examples:

Either way that's it! Glimmer on. \o/
