Update

Finally things are going well...

Thanks to some lovely users in my Windows Messenger Live Group, I have been given a direction to follow to get Screens out as quickly but cleanly as possible.

I know that PalmOS is going through a rough time and I don't want Screens to miss the boat flood.

I am very happy with the new design and I am already coding the form component to display windows. I already have most of my UI design done and my favorite is the new way to write a component like this:

   1: /* in header file */

   2: typedef UIWindow UIForm;

   3:  

   4: UIForm * UIFormNew();

   5:  

   6: /* in source file */

   7:  

   8: typedef struct {

   9:     byte Title[UI_TITLE_LENGTH];

  10:     color TitleBackgroundColor;

  11: } form_info;

  12:  

  13: obj_component(UIForm, UIWindow) {

  14:     obj_method("CoreObjectInit", FormInit);

  15:     obj_method("UIElementDraw", FormDraw);

  16:     obj_type(form_info);

  17: }

I found it very easy to write components, overloading methods at run-time with a single line and while it might not be the easiest to understand, it does the job quickly and efficiently.

I am working as hard as I can to get the alpha demo back up and running. This time I expect to be able to not only move windows around, but hopefully a bit of the slider and system bar as well, so I can get some feedback so finally some of you users can help if you want to.

Wish me luck!
