Well, I've made some repository layout changes and basically rewritten pandora-libraries from scratch (not really, I had a script that did this for me), because the primary pandora-libraries repository had a structure that wasn't suitable for qmake-based projects.aesir911 said:any updates on Panorama? or is the next test/step reliant upon the release of the Pandora?

I tried to do something very similar to this awhile back, but instead of reinventing the wheel I started by melting aluminum for the hub, and mixing rubber for the tire. I got bogged down in the scripting language, 2D acceleration, and fiddly bits. If course I was trying to do this outside of X, using framebuffer only, so I didn't have a widget library to build off of, but I digress.
You've managed to clobber QT and webkit into something really slick. I like it a lot. How's the memory footprint compared to Pmenu?
Including shared libs, well... Qt takes quite a bit of RAM to run (about 5 MiB ideally, but I'll do real measurements soon), but you're using Qt for something else most of the time anyways so it's not a big loss. Also, I have no idea how much memory the OpenGL ES libs take (for PMenu's rendering), so I can't really compare the total memory...
EDIT: I might as well mention CPU usage... PMenu takes 100% CPU all of the time, Panorama uses 1% CPU when something is being animated, 8% CPU when application folders are scanned, and ~0% CPU when everything is static. This is measured on a Pentium 4 3GHz processor.
Another EDIT: May I remind you that Qt runs on the frame buffer, too? Just sayin'
I am sorry that you feel that way, I only did a nominal comparison this once because I was asked to do so. I myself see these two systems as two separate products that will stay just that.Cpasjuste said:Please stop comparing to pmenu, this is not a competition. This is starting to be annoying to me ... do what you want and leave me out of this crap.

So I'll be running them both on my Panda?

Some stuff is, some isn't. E.g. there's currently no way of displaying the signal strength of the wifi signal or the battery level. Should be pretty easy to add, though.Trevsweb said:might have to jump into this as it looks fantastic.
wonder if something like this is possible with your UI

Don't be afraid to push the limits; I can easily adapt Panorama to have the features you need if you can but list them.Trevsweb said:i will sort out the features in my concept that dont work and hopefully replace them with ones that do.
I guess you didn't get time at the weekend?Trevsweb said:if i get time over the weekend i'll send you some files to maybe have a play around with. i will sort out the features in my concept that dont work and hopefully replace them with ones that do.

Anyways, does anyone have any concepts you want me to make Panorama interfaces out of, just give me a shout! I've got to start working on this again soon...
I will, once I get a Pandora. No prob.greendots said:I am still interested in this UI... has anyone got it to work on a pandora yet?
