Style editor tab #4

Open AGlass0fMilk opened 5 years ago

AGlass0fMilk commented 5 years ago

Since most of the visual configuration in lvgl is done using style objects, perhaps we can have a dedicated tab in the GUI builder where all the styles in a project can be created and configured.

This would give the user a complete picture of how many styles they use in their UI and thus the memory usage they are incurring.

If this should be a feature, what other features will this tab have? Can you select a style and preview different widgets with that style?

Please comment with your ideas.

Good idea to have a style editor tab where you can see and configure all your styles. I agree, it also would be nice to add some simple objects for body, text, line and image properties.

Besides style editor two it would be great to have

Font tab:
- Add ttf files
- Set what sizes (and other parameters) are required from them
- Automatically generate/update the fonts when the code is exported
Image tab
- Add images (bmp, jpg, png)
- Set some conversion properties (true color, true color alpha etc. same as in the image converter tool)
- Automatically generate/update the images when the code is exported

@AGlass0fMilk did you have a chance to make further experiments?

AGlass0fMilk commented 5 years ago

I haven't had time to work on it since we decided to switch to Qt.

What I have so far is a mocked up a main window based on the GTK builder (Glade) with separate tabs for each of these utilities.

I'll try to find some time soon to work on this.
