Oh yeah, and it also has other bugs like differences between 10.3/10.4 and even has appearances that are dependent on the user's monitor size, all courtesy of the Apple JVM.
Just because I can put together pretty screenshots doesn't mean I've found the panacea. After all, even a few years ago /C could make a couple really pretty screenshots before it crashed

I'm not, but then again, I drink Virgil's Root Beer. And if I wanted the stuff made from barley/hops/water/yeast, I live two blocks from a 24 hour Circle-K. It is real nice when you are up at 3 a.m. and want a fresh cup of java/joe/coffee...

Not to mention get finished too. Right now all that's being accomplished are the simple controls. The more complex controls (e.g. scrollbars, tabs, rulers, toolbars) will take much much longer. |
Are these making it back into the codebase?

Not all of them have been written yet. When ready, they'll sneak in

Thanks. They look very nice and clean.
I know about the Native FP issue, I attempted to pick it up but it looks like this will be another module item as the FP is that in OpenOffice.org

Dan suggested looking at the fpicker module. There are some examples from both Win32 and GTK on how to customize it in OOo 2. IIRC, "filepicker" is the one that's implemented with the OOo widgets while "fpicker" is the one that allows individual platforms to override it. Not sure if I have that in the right order though since it's been a long time since I looked at them.

Indeed
And the installed base when NMF landed was much lower, given there had never been a "final-quality", greater-than-1.0 release then.
And, finally, one should never argue with a programmer who is out of beer

I'm blinded by your brilliance.
And I have to do another build...(Damn.)
Thanks. I like this.

The simple widgets now are complete. The complex ones will take the most time and the most care to get working.

And, of course, thanks to Pat who's already optimized my slacker code

So the next part of NWF I've been tackling has been combo boxes. They're the editable pulldows. In Cocoa they have an edit field on the left and a plain arrow on the right. The Swing implementation in Java 1.4, hoewver, can't draw into a separate offscreen buffer. Instead I'm investigating an alternate HITheme approach and have just run into compile issues which hopefully I will resolve soon (re: as soon as I can compile...but as I have a processor upgrade coming on Monday hopefully it'll be sooner than I think!).
These are the kinds of oddities in Swing implementation within the Apple VM I feared would crop up in implementing NWF, and they do exist. Granted, the approach for NWF drawing I'm using is using advertised Java methods in ways they aren't commonly used. Still, the VM is not implementing the API Sun advertises for Swing and, as a result, workarounds need to be made that are specific to both OS X and the version of Apple VM.
I'm still going to implement all native widgets on top of Swing wherever possible. It's the easiest approach technically as well as the most logical approach and are the most efficient. In theory, the Swing mappings could be used in a crossplatform sense. Hopefully more of these roadblocks don't crop up.

Nice image with a new tab for Word Completion.... |
Has this made it back into the 2.0 Preview code, yet?

Neo 2.0 Alpha will not have this Aqua code. It is way too new and still very experimental. Hopefully, we might be able to put it into Beta.

Well, I'll wait then, but I think that you should look at the Autocorrect dialog for the latest NeoOffice 2.0 build.
