LoveUI for love 0.6.0

[appleide]

I have had troubles porting LoveUI to the new version of love. Meanwhile, bartbes and robin has ported LoveUI to 0.6.0 for use in lovelybigplanet, which I'll attach here for convenience. I haven't asked them yet and I hope I'm not assuming too much supposing bartbes and robin would allow me to do this.

This thread will contain versions of LoveUI compatible with love 0.6.0.

Current Version Features: (October 7, 2009)
Same as last version, but is now compatible with the latest love snapshot (as of october 2009).
Fixed shading.

Future planned features:
Performance improvements, especially for the table.
Checkbox.
More ease of use. (I'll do the same to rectangles as rude has done to how colors can now be made from a single table, so that Rect:new() calls are reduced)
Maintain compatibility.

Past Version Features:
See last version's changelog.

Thanks for this!

I'm lokking for a version in which the shading of buttons scrollbars etc is drawn correctly..

[appleide]

Hmm, images are drawn from the top left corner now. You might also need to edit LoveUI to set the path of the library.

[bartbes]

Sure you can post it.. it's weird that we have edited it and that we didn't ask you, so really.. it's okay. But please keep in mind, everyone, this hasn't been tested to any depth, we just fixed all problems we could find in our shallow searches and while adding stuff, so basically I can only say that buttons, input boxes and lists are in SOME working state. It's just filling the gap until you (@appleide) find out how to do a good port

[Robin]

Also, there's no guarantee we didn't *break* anything which previously worked. Also, I may have *cough* modified some defaults to suit our specific needs *cough*.

Here's a developing version of the *new* LoveUI. So far I've only added buttons and textfields. Performance-wise is around 85% of the previous version, so far. and I have no idea why. The code is much cleaner and there is going to be proper documentation. There's a half finished one inside the "doc" folder right now!

there is going to be proper documentation.

Yay!

Here's a screenshot with a scrollView having a bad performance.

It also doesn't look that good. Anyone can come up with a mockup that looks cool?

[appleide]

I don't think I can make the scrollView look good enough so I'll give up on that. The table view is just going to go without scrollbars, but I think you'd still be able to set the offset. You're going to have to do your own scroll bars, or make arrow buttons to change the offset. But it isn't done yet

I've written some more documentation in this release.

EDIT: I've updated a new 12_1 version to work with the latest 0.6.0 (string constants)

Aw...

Nice to see some progress here though.

Awesome!

Going to try it right away.
