Form Designer 5.10
Re: Form Designer for Mac/Windows/Linux -5.00b2 (update!)
I liked the ribbon; looked great to me.
I may look like a mule, but I'm not a complete ass.

I actually liked the look of the ribbon, albeit it was a little too "big" for my taste.. Oh well
Can you reinstate it as a Preference option maybe? Along with a size? (small / medium / large)

It surely looked better than the usual toolbars/menubars, but since I moved the different gadget types to the sidebar, the ribbon wasn't really useful.Zach wrote:I actually liked the look of the ribbon, albeit it was a little too "big" for my taste.. Oh well

It's actually better to have a more consistent UI between the IDE and the Form Designer as well

I also liked the look of the ribbon but it was more Windows / Microsoft like.
When it comes to cross platform, the new approach might be more logical.

Without ribbons i can use the designer on my netbook too

Old bugs good, new bugs bad! Updates are evil: might fix old bugs and introduce no new ones.

Well the ribbon is a nice interface for apps like Word I think, when you've got plenty of options. As the FD hasn't, it did make sense to remove itts-soft wrote:Without ribbons i can use the designer on my netbook too![]()

I also prefer the new version since it needs to be a productive tool. It also makes sense to make it look similiar to the PB IDE.Polo wrote:Well the ribbon is a nice interface for apps like Word I think, when you've got plenty of options.

Quick screen of how the new menu editor will look like - not finished yet, still have to add drag and drop, and OS skins 



Re: Form Designer for Mac/Windows/Linux -5.00b2 (update!)
I've finished working on the new menu tool, it's not perfect but much easier than the old one 
It also makes the interface more consistent as almost everything is now handled in the main window
I'll try to release an update tonight or tomorrow, I need to fix my wifi connection first...

Counting the minutes 

Re: Form Designer for Mac/Windows/Linux -5.00b2 (update!)
Wifi not working on my mac is really annoying - still managed to build beta 2.2!
Hopefully most of the things should be working fine, but as I did plenty of modifications since last update, there might be some problems here and there... Please test
I take this opportunity to thanks those who have donated, it really helps!

Re: Form Designer 5.00 beta 2.2
Thank you, Menü creation is fine
One small bug (others will follow
), you should store x, y, w and h of designer in normalmode, not in maxmode (only the state).
If you have a maximized window and restores it, it is to large
I hope you understand my english.

Super impressive, the new designer is wonderful and simple to use.
I will test it deeply in the morning.
I found some problem in Menu , separators and sub-menu after re-opening the file.
I will try to replicate the bug and attach some example code.
