Enhancement for HudButtonUI #49

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

I made some changes to HudButtonUI to allow dynamic border coloring.

The concept is, you start with a base color, and the button makes its
variations.

We can add this new optional Color to the Constructor.

I know, this is nothing that is known by apple, but it's kinda useful.

@Ken: I could check this in, if you give me svn write access.
There are also some other changes... i'm starting to have a
macwidgesproposed-package in my app ^^

Can you provide screenshots of this behavior? In general, I'd like to keep the 
behavior and usage pattern as 
simple as possible.

Well, our filter bar is not final, but i definitely like the colors.

Cause: they explain the user what's going on when some of his files are colored 
red
or green...

The Usage Pattern can be the same... would be just an optional parameter on
construction to change the base color.

Interesting. Thanks for the screenshot Pete. Let me think some more about this 
one.

Sure, no problem.... currently one of my teammates simply copied your UI and 
made
e.g. GreenHudButtonUI. (which is worse than my idea of the constructor)

But there are no dependencies, so i can stick with that for a while. (hu, 
sourcelist
would be much harder to fork ;)

The even nicer solution for a filter bar would be something like this, se 
screenshot
attached.

A filter bar is another thing on the "TODO" list.

On lighter color backgrounds HudButton doesn't look good. See screenshot.

No plans to do this now.
