Hello,

Can you explain how complicated the widgets should be, i.e. should they use 
Cairo to
draw completely new widgets or maybe "inherited" widgets - those that use other 
Gtk#
widgets to create something like a reusable collection of widgets, or those with
combination with Cairo.

And, do we have to use only Wink. If we have access to other film-editing 
software,
can we use that?

Thanks

You dont need to use cairo or any other thing, a simple widget using only 
designer is
better, what we need is only a guide to show how to create reusable widgets 
using
MonoDevelop.

Well, you can use other film-editing but I prefer Wink because it make possible 
to
show some balloon and is also possible to interact with film.

Have you any other suggestion?

No, that's fine. I was just wondering.

I might as well claim this task after the other one gets closed.

I'd like to unclaim this task. I have a few reasons for it. First of all,
MonoDevelop's window is just too big for such an intense presentation. Resizing 
the
actuall screenshots makes everything really ugly. Second, Wink. Wink is not at 
all
something joyful to work with. The expression that I'd use for it is: "It simply
sucks." especially the Linux version. But, hence there is no such other 
software for
Linux, that's what we are forced to use.

That is all.

I really would like to unclaim this task.

Thanks,
Stojan

I'm going to try once more, but the Video won't be too good... resizing the 
frames
(which happen to be JPEG) in Wink make them look "not so good", but hell.

However, about the custom widget. Do you think it's a good idea to have a Label 
and a
Button, and when the Button is clicked, the label changes text? Or should I do
something more complex?

Thanks. Also, if I need a few more days, I'll notify you.

Hey, nice.

About widget, yes, a simple one is ok because we just need to show how to create
widget, if you want you can also make a widget with "<Label>: <TextEntry> 
<Button>".

If you have questions or need some help let me know here or just contact me in 
IRC in
#mono or #mono-ghop or #mono-winforms.

Hey everaldo.cantuto,

Did you got my email, about that test widget we talked on irc a couple of days 
ago? I'd really like for you to review 
it before I can continue this task, and since it is the last day before due 
day, can I ask for a prolongation of the 
date. Let's say till wednesday. I hope I'll have it done by then.

Thanks

Since school just started here (in Macedonia; started on Monday 21), I will be 
a hell
lot busier. I should have it done by Saturday/Sunday. I might have it done 
earlier,
who knows! :)

I'll do it as the example I sent you, everaldo.cantuto, in the email.
