I am still working on it off and on, but I actually have started a rewriting process recently to make necessary changes that could have been made with the current code base. I may upload an image of some of the newly reworked stuff soon.

As of right now I'm still using the "flat", single color graphics like in the old lib, but I have tested out some gradients when it comes to window title bars. Everything will look very familiar with those acquainted with the previous lib. In fact all controls can be ported to the new lib by removing a parameter and one line of code from the controls constructor. One big difference is Forms are now called "Windows" and controls are added to Windows by using the Window:addControl() method.

Maybe you could have multiple theme supports ^^ (and perhaps custom ones?)

Themes are something I am definitely interested in, and I may try and implement it as I get farther down the road.
Here is the first view:

That looks nice, although I would probably make the button icons bold or something so they're more visible. Perhaps a different shade too?


By the way do you plan to retain OS 3.1 compatibility? I notice that many Lua programmers have dropped OS 3.1 (and even 3.6) compatibility now.

It's hard to say what will be supported, right now everything is at least 3.6 compliant. I think that previously it could be make apileve 1.0 compliant by changing on.construction to on.create. If anything 3.6 will be supported.

supporting 3.1 is annoying, but from 3.2+ it's not a problem.

The main issue by not supporting 3.1 is that some Ndless users still use it because even without nLaunchy installed Ndless will still remain installed after reboots. That said, it's more an issue about being too lazy (including myself :P) to learn how to install nLaunch and OS 3.6 and people being concerned about 3.6 taking more memory than 3.1. Lua has been drastically improved after OS 3.1.

There will be support for at least 3.6. Like Adriweb has said it is a pain to support 3.1. It may not take many changes to make the Lib 3.1 compatible though because the bulk of my code is drawing and event handling.

I am kind of stuck on the TextBox Control once again. It currently acts like the previous textbox control but that is not acceptable as it had no way to edit the text other than backspacing and rewriting it. Does anyone know of any good example of textboxes and how the are rendered? Ive been doing google searches but have been having a tough time finding source code examples.

Sorry I missed your post. You might need to ask in the Lua sub-forum so that people see it, else people who only check help topics will miss your question. I can't help sadly, though. Have you checked the Nspire-Lua wiki?

It has been a while.... I want to get back into working on this again, but I want to know: whats new? I noticed there still isn't a lot of activity when it comes to Lua development on the TI-Nspire platform. Has anything important been added to TI-Nspire Lua?
