Unable to run MUI (as need to update version of V) #19

Closed Wajinn closed 1 year ago

Wajinn commented 1 year ago

It might be good to show what version of V that MUI is using, and to clarify what version of OSes tested on. I had the problem a couple of times before, where MUI examples would not run, because of using an older version of V. So after updating, they work. Additionally, V's upgrade can be a bit finicky, where it can be better to remove and then re-install.

Additionally, if only Windows 11 is targeted, then it might not work on Windows 8.1/10. The majority of Windows users, can still be on Windows 10. For example: Windows 10 at 70%, Windows 11 around 15%, and Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 still at over 10%. A UI that works on say only 20% of the user systems, would obviously be problematic. Not everyone is going to quickly upgrade to the latest and newest of something, be it the latest version of V or the latest version of an OS.

I am using latest V to test it. And I am testing MUI on Windows 11, Arch Linux, Android 12 and Wine 8.1. Until i have a problem with Virtualitation Software, I was tested it with also Windows 7. When I fix it, i will test it again.

I have faced with the issue. But after updating V and that fixed automatically the issue, I was think this is a compiler-bug that fixed in latest V. And I ignore it.

Also sometimes latest-V can broke entire codebase and i need to broke the support to have compability with latest-V. It was happened in sum types update and similar updates.

Additionally, if only Windows 11 is targeted, then it might not work on Windows 8.1/10.

Only UI theme is the part is especially designed for Windows 11. It should be work on old windows and other OS if enabled.

I agree but testing a lot OS and supporting V/Vlib changes is making harder on old-V compatible. Nevertheless I want to make compatible as possible.

If you have issue with old OS or V-version, please let me know specific information about the OS and V version. If i can make MUI compatible with that, i will do it.

Thanks for your attention.

This is good that you are testing across different OSes. I play with virtualization software too. MUI works with Windows 7/8.1, in the tests that I have done. My intention in mentioning this, is for MUI users to know. That way if they are using on untested OSes, they might mention any issues.

Yes, I very much know this issue and understand. V is progressing and changing so rapidly, that one has to be careful. Programs that ran on earlier versions of V, might not run on a new version. However, because V is in beta, we all must endure and it's for the best. V has to continue to evolve and mature, on its way to achieving its 1.0 form.

I've tested it on Windows 7/8.1/10 (via VM) and the themes work on those as well.

It is clear now that if MUI doesn't work, one of the things to check for first, is to update to the latest version of V. Maybe mention that as a possible troubleshooting step in the help document or front page. It can be that people who wish to try MUI might be using old versions of V, so run into issues.

I think you are doing a great job with this project. So when playing with MUI and on different OSes (which are different from what you are showing) or if something else comes up, I will let you know. As this is clarified, will close this issue.
