Yes. We are doing our best, if you really want one fix prioritized, feel free to contact me in PM and make an offer. You are nagging for one single bug over and over in the forum since a while, always with rude and negative tone. So good bye, I warned you several time in PM before.

Don't let him get you down, Fred. I know it's hard to please everyone. You're still doing a great job with every release (and Freak too).

Switch back to the positive things

Code:

- Added: Brand new QT subsystem for Linux
- Added: DPI aware support for Windows app (/DPIAWARE compiler switch and DPI Aware check in IDE)
- Added: #PS, #NPS, #PS$ and #NPS$ constants (Path seperator character depending of the OS)
- Added: #PB_JSON_NoClear support to ExtractJSONStructure
- Added: #PB_Path_Winding filling mode for VectorDrawing
- Added: DesktopResolutionX(), DesktopResolutionY(), DesktopScaleX(), DesktopScaleY(), DesktopUnscaleX(), DesktopUnscaleY()
- Added: an optional 'Mode' parameter for OpenConsole() to specify the string format to use
- Added: #PB_Vehicle_IsInContact, #PB_Vehicle_ContactPointX/Y/Z, #PB_Vehicle_ContactPointY/Z for GetVehicleAttribute()
- Added: #PB_Vehicle_ContactPointNormalX/Y/Z, #PB_Vehicle_ContactPointNormalY/Z, #PB_Vehicle_CurrentSpeedKmHour, #PB_Vehicle_ForwardVectorX/Y/Z
- Added: #PB_Material_ProjectiveTexturing for SetMaterialAttribute()
- Added: ParticleScaleRate(), ParticleAngle(), CameraReflection()
- Added: BuildMeshManualLod(), BuildMeshLod(), MeshVertex(), CreateDataMesh()
- Added: EntityDirection(), EntityDirectionX(), EntityDirectionY(), EntityDirectionZ()
- Added: #PB_Local/#PB_Parent/#PB_World support for ApplyEntityForce(), ApplyEntityImpulse(), ApplyEntityTorque() and ApplyEntityTorqueImpulse()

You forgot one of the most important changes for 5.70 (at least for me):

Code:

- Added: SetGadgetColor() for CanvasGadget

Code:

OpenWindow (0, 0, 0, 300, 600, "SplitterGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

CanvasGadget   (1, 0, 0,   0,   0)
CanvasGadget   (2, 0, 0,   0,   0)
SplitterGadget (0, 1, 1, 298, 598, 1, 2)

SetGadgetColor (1, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Red)
SetGadgetColor (2, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Green)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

@Josh: according to fr34k, the fix to canvas resize should be in this release, did you test it ? (if it work, I don't think SetGadgetColor() is needed, right ?)

Thanks @Fred (and all involved). Another great update!

I think it's the other way around. SetGadgetColor() for background works great. That's all I need and I think, what the most members wanted.

Try the snippet from my previous post. Perfect. Without flickering an without callback.

Tested callback with and without #PB_EventType_Resize. Can't see any difference. Maybe I do something wrong.

Code:

Procedure Resize1()

  If StartDrawing (CanvasOutput (1))
    Box(20, 20, GadgetWidth(1) - 40, GadgetHeight(1) - 40, #Green)
    StopDrawing()
  EndIf

EndProcedure
Procedure Resize2()

  If StartDrawing (CanvasOutput (2))
    Box(20, 20, GadgetWidth(2) - 40, GadgetHeight(2) - 40, #Red)
    StopDrawing()
  EndIf

EndProcedure

OpenWindow (0, 0, 0, 300, 600, "SplitterGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

CanvasGadget   (1, 0, 0,   0,   0)
CanvasGadget   (2, 0, 0,   0,   0)
SplitterGadget (0, 1, 1, 298, 598, 1, 2)

SetGadgetColor (1, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Red)
SetGadgetColor (2, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Green)

Resize1()
Resize2()
BindGadgetEvent (1, @Resize1(), #PB_EventType_Resize)
BindGadgetEvent (2, @Resize2(), #PB_EventType_Resize)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Hi PB Team,

... and it is a team, from Fred to Freak, including the main contributors past and present (too many to mention by name). The moderators and forum members who tirelessly share their time and skillset to make this community what it is. Thank you all :!:

Thank you for the update!

Qt on Linux sounds amazing. I look forward to testing it.

What are the licensing implications of this? Is it dynamically linked? What will an end-user need to install to use a PB application that uses the Qt subsystem?

Yes indeed!

Qt license costs for commercial use apps are savage. They also have a very active legal department ready to sue anyone that breaks their license terms.

I think you can use it commercially under the terms of the LGPL, but you can only keep the source code closed if it's dynamically linked.
