CC'ing Claudio as this is hildon-widgets area...
Comment 2 Claudio Saavedra 2009-06-10 08:57:06 UTC
David, would you volunteer to make new screenshots using the SDK? That would
make you the first community member to submit a bug fix to hildon in
Fremantle..

Moving to the widgets, where this belongs.
Comment 3 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 11:11:13 UTC
Claudio: I'd be happy to, but I have had some trouble getting the latest Maemo
beta working in Scratchbox: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29386

I will start a thread calling for widget screenshots on Talk, though - I'm sure
it'll have great success
Comment 4 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 11:23:05 UTC
Claudio: Do you know if there's a program like gtk-demo which has all of the
widgets and allows you to view them one by one with dummy labels (like in the
widget gallery)?

Not really, that's a shame. But we would take that as a contribution as well. A
starting point could be the examples/ directory in the source tree.
Comment 6 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 12:45:55 UTC
Just to be precise, which source tree are you referring to? haf?

Thanks!
Comment 7 Claudio Saavedra 2009-06-10 12:49:50 UTC
The source code for hildon is in git:

  https://git.maemo.org/projects/hildon
Comment 8 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-06-10 13:18:13 UTC
Maybe some pictures from http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5_examples/
can be reused?
Comment 9 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 16:54:50 UTC
Does this page replace the old widget library?

http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5_examples/

No way. I have no idea where these examples came from. The widget gallery in
the API docs should still be updated.
Comment 11 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 17:39:36 UTC
Allow me to rephrase: *could* the screenshots in that page be the new widget
library?
Comment 12 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 18:24:56 UTC
GeneralAntilles made an astute comment on Talk:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=295291&postcount=2

"Might be worth waiting until we have the final theme?"

So - will the theme change in the final release, or should we use whatever is
in the Beta?
Comment 13 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-06-10 19:18:30 UTC
Mass-adding the new "docs" keyword. Sorry for the noise - You can filter your
bugmail by searching for "docs-cleanup-20090610".

Just compiled and tested the examples that Claudio point out, everything seems
very different from the page mentioned above.
I can do the screenshots, where should I send them ? should do screenshots of
all widgets and buttons in the examples folder ?

Thanks.
Comment 15 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-10 21:32:00 UTC
Hi,

Either as a .tar.gz/.zip or one by one as attachments to this bug report would
be best.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Dave.

hildon examples screenshots

Hi,

I took screenshots of all the examples in the hildon git, exception to the
following, that don't show anything interesting:

*hildon-finger-example
*hildon-insensitive-example
*hildon-logical-color-example

and the 'hildon-icons-size-example' that don't ran under my SB.

Some of the screenshots aren't widgets, but can be useful for get a preview of
the available UI elements. All the images are in the original size, I don't cut
any of the elements.
Comment 17 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-11 14:33:04 UTC
Thanks Valerio!

Claudio, can you update the gallery page, please? Or point me to where it is so
that I can change it myself.

Thanks!
Dave.

Thanks Valério. I guess it needs to be done in the source tree docs directory.
These screenshots come from the gtk-doc generated documentation. This will
probably require a huge (binary) patch, so, to simplify, it should be only a
matter of updating the xml(?) file and naming the image files consistenly (if
they aren't already), then I can dump them in the proper place when I apply the
patch.

The images have mostly the same names of the example files that I ran, but some
of them have additional descriptions, like the examples that provide more than
one screenshot (e.g buttons with different heights and widths)

...and now there's also

Dave, are you still willing to do this? If so, please take the bug.
Comment 22 Dave Neary maemo.org 2009-06-23 12:53:27 UTC
Claudio,

As per my last comment, I would need you to point me to where I can do this. If
it's not publicly available, then you (or someone else) will have to update the
docs for me.

Thanks!
Dave.

The widgets gallery is right there in the docs/ directory. If you need any
other reference, please tell.
