KUAL: Kindle Unified Application Launcher (v2.7)

[twobob]

okay. re the gameboy... that is because the SAVE location is set to TMP? I think?

Will check that. perhaps a more solid location could be found (I will HAVE to check that)

mc could probably be "spooned" in there... please provide LINKS to things you want me to look at. (the kindle versions)

busybox already runs on the kindles - if you are asking - "Can I have a newer busybox?" most certainly... and I feel this is a likely addition to the upcoming /system section...

Hope that helps

right...

will have look!

thanks


EDIT: hmm...

MYTS:

I seem to recall that is not the latest version of myts. Matan built me (Us) a new one IIRC. will dig for it.

Also I was hoping to replace myts with kterm for all devices but in the interim I will have a play ASAP

KINDLE CHESS: I will have to think about that one...
assuming everyone is using the follwing version I will have a go...

MC:
will have to check that myts can be started with "an argument to run stuff"
sort of recall that it couldn't but I am probably wrong

Will play : D

Sorry i found that there is a new version of terminal:

Terminal 8:

Also, the terminal should have posibility to run script, after entering console mode. I whould like to enter console and then execute MC.
Is this possible?

[twobob]

Read the Edited post above.

We had the same thoughts more or less.

[twobob]

RIGHT!!!! finally some time to re-test the latest KUAL update.

RESERVED THIS SPACE

[n3rd4i]

sounds good,
I hope the updates will include older versions like K3
and the rectangle menu

Edit:
I will also be a tester for K3 platform if this is required.
And and dont know very much of programming on linux, but i learn fast and i sure wanna help this platform.
I posted my request for beta KDK but i have no acceptance (

Update is for all versions... always is.

rectangles are "on the pile" for after the features that we are currently introducing get fixed.

always happy to have more people on the team... THUS go dig around and see if you can dig up the styling info for me on the BUTTONS...

amazon host the docs. I will try to find a link for you...

KDK. forget it.

that is the one nice work...

but sadly...



I dont yet see a way to mangle that to be "square"...

[n3rd4i]

Well the buttons for paper white can be used on older version compatible with kindlet?

like:

Spoiler:

?

i see that there is a line for configuring the buttons:

void setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height)
Can this be of use?

Different Java resources on the older machines.
That is why there are two KUAL builds being done.

You can't easily change the way the buttons look like. You'll have to extend KButton, and re-implement the entire paint method. It's not impossible, but it's tedious, so I didn't bother to do it yet.

Essentially Amazon moved over to using Swing rather than their own flavour...

Swing has the nice buttons...

maybe it can be mangled to look more square. but as Ixtab says above... it would be EFFORT

and to save frustration...

The link on the amazon thingy should point to

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/...a.awt.Graphics)

rather than the stupid http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...a.awt.Graphics)

it does point to
