Taskbar possibility

Greetings,

I have been playing with some ideas for the Taskbar and thought you'all might tell me if you think it is worthwhile to continue.

Basically, fileIn the Morphic-Views package, file in the ChangeSet, open a Workspace and
Taskbar reset.

Open and iconize/collapse some windows. Try out the updated Taskbar and decide if you like or hate it.

Anyway, let me know what you think about it.

Thanks much,
-KenD
PS: This _is_ prototype code and needs simplification and cleanup -- expect rough edges.

Re: Taskbar possibility

Playing a bit more with the Taskbar I saw that it show correctly in a high resolution of the screen (1440 x 900).

But I'm an older man and need a bit more big fonts, when I put the resolution in, for example, 1280x800 or 1152x720, the watch get overlapped by the icons, as is shown in the attached images.

I need to adjust something in the code?

The LayoutSpec's are set up in Taskbar>>initialize . The dashBoard contains the clock. The clock's layoutSpec' #fixedWidth and #fixedHeight iVars need to be set for the new extent when the clock size changes.

Please forgive the direct numbers. The code needs to be parameterized (eg to add Taskbar>>defaultHeght) simplified a bit, and cleaned up.

I wanted feedback on the prototype before spending more time in case people did not like it.

This is community code. Would you prefer to do the cleanup? Casey?

If not, I'll go ahead and start cleaning up!

Hi Germán,

Have you tried bigFonts and hugeFonts in the Preferences... / Font Sizes... menu? It will look much better than using your display at the wrong resolution...

Hi guys. Sorry to be late to the thread. There were some hiccups with the move and I have only been online sporadically.

I thought I should write to say that my laptop is still in a box halfway across town, so I won't be able to check this stuff out right away.

From German's screenshots, though, I think what Ken's come up with looks pretty cool. Keep at it! And I do hope to regroup with the community when I've got my affairs in order again.

Re: Taskbar possibility

Thank you Ken for the Taskbar. I like it in particular with

Taskbar>>defaultHeight
^Preferences windowTitleFont height * 2

changed to
Taskbar>>defaultHeight
^Preferences windowTitleFont height * 4

or even

Taskbar>>defaultHeight
^Preferences windowTitleFont height * 6

I added a selection in the Taskbar morph's menu to resize the task bar. You need to file in the attached change set.

Just left-click on the taskbar to select the morph, use the menu to "Scale x 2" or whatever.

If people like this, we can ask Juan to add it to his feature request queue.

We may as well make it easy! 8^)
