Wow, this works really well!

I stumbled on this glitch, though:

(The right border of the selection shifts)

I noticed a couple occasions where the UI doesn't behave like OS X, but it's just small graphical details that don't affect usability whatsoever. In doubt, I'll still list:
-if you tab to 'Ok' and hold space, the button's shade of blue twitches a couple times before settling down. 'Cancel' has the same behaviour.
-in OS X, clicking 'Ok' and moving out while holding the mouse button has the button display in "white" (rather than blue) to indicate it's won't be activated if you release. This works with "Cancel" but not "Ok" in the UI.

@Zantalos: I think Renegade_Turner means he's using a keypunch and machine language. Hence "gramps".

I noticed that in OS X, but it doesn't appear in Windows, so I am pretty sure that it is the fault of the OS X text API I am using and won't show up when I use Lugaru's.

That is a good find - I'll fix it after I take Wolfie for a walk .

Now for checkboxes and radiobuttons!

awww, it seems jeff didn't like my find...

I realize that it isn't actually a bug, since button text is fully customizable, but I just thought I'd put it out there to avoid having it in the final release

Hehe, it is a good observation, but not a bug per se. It should still be changed though.

Excellent!


Custom theme making and/or a ShapeShifter theme converter
would be kickass.

I uploaded a new build.

I fixed the issues from this thread and added a checkbox and some other features of the controls (e.g. password protection for the editfield).

That was fast!

If you copy text from the password-protected editfield, you can paste it in the non-protected editfield and read it

Fixed. I didn't even think about that. I also fixed the behaviour of double clicking and option-left/right in password editfields so that it doesn't reveal where the spaces are.

I have also added radio buttons and added a resize widget to the bottom right of the windows. When I add a couple more things, I will release a new update.

when you run the mouse over the 3 window edit buttons, the black "shadow" at the top extends slightly. I can't take a screenshot of it, but if you use the "zoom" feature in OSX, you can see it.

haha thats just another trivial thing though...

You should probally make it so that you cannot drag windows completely off-screen.

ummm, discrete is mispelled. it should be as i just wrote it. I realize that isn't actually a bug, but it'd probably be nice to fix.

Nope, discreet is right. Stupid math major.

Here's a status report:

I've added support for shift tabbing so that you can shift the focus backwards. I'm doing a few under the hood changes before I move on to popup menus, which are going to be very painful.

Looks good so far; the only thing that I see missing is the redo function; Command Shift Z in most word processors nowadays redoes the undo.

Wow i feel stupid now.

I haven't been on a Mac in a while, but i know that windows has this feature and it is very nice. While tab goes forwards through the edit fields/buttons shift-tab goes backwards. This is a great feature you should add.

Also, alt-tabbing between the two windows doesnt work, there is no way for me to know what is going on here since when I hit alt-tab it switches between windows apps rather than the windows within PhoenixUI, but it should allow you to move between PhoenixUI windows somehow (although it should also do what it is doing right now, seems like something that will only operate correctly in actual use.)

Can't wait for popups, scrolling, sliders and all the other features to come.

Haha, I just said that I added that

The switching windows thing is a good idea. On a Mac, command-` switches windows inside an application.
