RRedhacker2 I actually hate the modern windows win32 theming

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:24 PM

Oh I do too

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:24 PM

They removed context menu item highlights in Windows 11

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

Or if it's still there

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

it's so faint

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

it may as well NOT be there

Rritchie ❤They removed context menu item highlights in Windows 11

Redhacker2•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

They keep brighting up the color scheme

Redhacker2•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

To the point where it just toasts your eyes

Redhacker2•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

At this point I'd rather design an app with my own design, language and style. Then I would try and use Windows built-in stuff

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

That's not even the issue for me because I can just invert it

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:25 PM

a lot of Windows 11 UI feels like they're using XAML Islands to wrap over the old stuff

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:26 PM

The issue is I can barely see the white mouse cursor against the white context menu and there's no item highlight

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:26 PM

I managed to open a Windows Explorer window without the ribbon

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:26 PM

so I can't be reasonably sure I'm hovering over the thing I wanna click

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:27 PM

If you futz with certain system files and the registry, it's possible to devolve the Windows 11 taskbar back to being a (broken) Windows 10 one

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:27 PM

You may actually be right

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:28 PM

probably the reason why they're pushing Windows App SDK so much

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:28 PM

it used to be called Project Reunion

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:28 PM

well thats what MAUI is supposed to be for but it doesnt support linux

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:28 PM

to unify Win32, UWP, WPF together

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:29 PM

MAUI is generally what they want to push for UI stuff

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:29 PM

Thing is I would prefer not to use a full UI framework if at all possible

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:29 PM

because that just adds a lot of bloat if all I'm using it for is system dialog abstractions

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:29 PM

best bet is to then call into something like GTK or QT that is cross platform

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:30 PM

@acidiclight btw

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:30 PM

I forgot which GUI libraries this interfaces for Linux but it works okay for Windows and MacOS

LLyris the Kitori best bet is to then call into something like GTK or QT that is cross platform

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:30 PM

or use Eto.Forms, which wraps around multiple UI APIs, and is relatively simple to integrate

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:32 PM

I wonder if it would be possible to use Eto.Forms to create an editor UI and just wrap vulkan inside it

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:32 PM

totally so

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:32 PM

Only problem then would be enforcing a dark theme

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:32 PM

because Win32 ain't got one

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 10:32 PM

Win32 colours are fully customizable by the dev

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:33 PM

I'm aware

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:33 PM

that's why it doesn't have a dark mode

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:33 PM

detecting user color scheme requires Windows App SDK unfortunately

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:33 PM

or probably registry magic

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:33 PM

because some ancient 1990 program some fossil of a businessman still uses just so happens to set some text to red which means that a global dark theme would break that app

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:34 PM

gamer theme

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:35 PM

The only other alternative is High Contrast but uh

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

if you've ever

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

used discord

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

with high contrast

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

...or worse, the Internet

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

there's a reason why people still use cef despite the bloat it has

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:36 PM

all for modern UX

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:37 PM

unfortunately discord uses electron

NitrousOP•1/16/23, 10:37 PM

tauri looks promising

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:37 PM

I still haven't figured out how to embed CEF into a custom game engine lol

ritchie ❤•1/16/23, 10:37 PM

Or any HTML renderer for that matter
