Locking mouse image for drag between windows

[gcarlton]

Cool! I've been eyeing off the new directory in cvs, waiting to take a peek at whatever new files will appear in there.

Hey Eddie, have you managed to make any progression with regard to your plan of action? Im currently not using cvs HEAD, so I havent seen the latest updates, but I was just wondering how your getting on.

Hope it doesnt feel like Im prodding you, just wondered if you could give an update cos Im looking forward to a few things on the list

Cheers

At the moment there are two problems:

1) A thouch of project apathy.
2) A World of Warcraft addiction.

I got a few minor things that were not on the above list put into HEAD; these were a dead pool to allow windows to destroy themselves from within their own event handlers, and a small tweak to FontManager so it automatically sets the first font created as the default (in case the user does not set one of their own).

The new widgets are slightly stalled; I'm having a little trouble making trade-off design decisions with both the tooltip and the scrollable pane. Once the design issues are sorted, implementation is a trivial affair.

The more advanced things on the list have to come after the above. The treeview and menu system both will rely on the new approach to list items, so that needs to get put in as well, though that is likely to be quite a large breaking change.

Ok thats cool, thanks for the update man. I realise that there must be loads of 'behind the scenes' and 'under the hood' stuff going on that folk like me probably dont know about or appreciate.

1) Those thouch's sound nasty. Hope there not related to those thongs that keep creeping up

2) I can sympathise. My PC vice is called Counter Strike, which has been a compelling and distractive force for many years now. We need things like this to keep problem number 1 at bay

Keep up the good work mate

Yeah, I think that it's possible the thongs such like are the root of the troubles here

Hopefully there'll be something good happening over the coming weekend though
