kaliko 0.6 switching to SWT
Publiziert: 4. January 2008, Verfasst von: Fabian Köster,
Development of kaliko 0.6 is making progress
We decided to drop the currently used Swing-GUI and use SWT instead. There are several reasons for this:
- A native look-and-feel on several platforms including Gtk-based Desktops (GNOME, XFce), OpenMoko, Maemo, Windows, Mac OS X, Win CE…
-
Only one code-base to maintain.
We do not have to handle the (at least) two separate Swing and SWT branches.
Because we do not want to have too long delays between the releases 0.5 and 0.6 we will start with a mixture of SWT and Swing components.
Further upcoming features which you can already see on the screenshot:
- List-View for events.
- Advanced handling of many categories. (Favorites-list, (un-)subscribing)
