@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, the lower right corner is different on purpose: It’s where you can click and drag to resize the window. https://movq.de/v/cbfc575ca6/vid-1767977198.mp4 Not sure how to make this easier to recognize. 🤔 (It’s the only corner where you can drag, btw.)
@bender@twtxt.net Seriously, if I ever get a CRT monitor again, I want it to be an amber one and then hook it up to some 8086. 😅 Only problem is that this stuff is expensive as hell now …
I think my widget toolkit will have an amber theme by default:

My first PC had a monochrome amber screen and I just love looking at this. 😃
(It looks even better with redshift enabled, but I can’t screenshot that.)
Only downside is that there aren’t that many amber shades in the standard 256 color palette. Or well, maybe that’s actually a good thing, as it probably helps to keep the theme more minimal and less cluttered/noisy. 🤔
And now the event loop is not a simple loop around curses’ getch() anymore but it can wait for events on any file descriptor. Here’s a simple test program that waits for connections on a TCP socket, accepts it, reads a line, sends back a line:

And the scrollbar indicators are working now.
I’ll probably implement timer callbacks using timerfd (even though that’s Linux-only). 🤔
Looks like someone loves Depth First Search.
More widget system progress:

I like the oldschool shadow effect. 😅 Not sure if I’ll keep it, but it’s neat.
The menu bar is still fake.
Had to spend quite a bit of time optimizing the rendering today. This can get really slow really quickly.
Unicode is Pain.
I might be able to start porting my first program (currently uses urwid) soon. 🤔
Finally Skyrim weather. 🥳
On my way to having windows and mouse support:

It would be cool to have something like Turbo Vision eventually.
(I considered just using Turbo Vision, but it’s a C++ library and that’s not quite what I’m looking for. But it’s not yet completely off the table.)
