What do people think about offering a "Flat" scheme for FLTK?
I think this would make for a lot of out of the box appeal,
and when people are shopping around for GUI libraries, having a
couple style options is certainly a big plus.
I think there's no arguing as well that GUI design trends
have moved away form skeuomorphisms.
I know this might go against the "Light" in FLTK, but could
go a long way into giving the library a more modern look.
I like the idea -- just in the last week or so I had to make an
FLTK project with a flat
UI to spec. It was easy to do though by just changing the
buttons to FL_FLAT_BOX
and playing around with the colors.
But it would be nice if it could all be switched with
Fl::scheme().
A flat scheme would be easier to implement than the other
schemes we have
already, as there's probably not much to it.
Also, now that FLTK has SVG, that could be leveraged for
antialiased lines
to do the subtle curves on the buttons and boxes, if one wanted
to get "fancy".
FLTK 1.x doesn't really provide an "easy" way for end users to
re-theme all
the FLTK widgets; IIRC you pretty much have to hack FLTK's code
to add a new
scheme. So providing, for example, an SVG based scheme wouldn't
be something
one could do as an external project AFAIK.. unless it were
provided as a patch.
It's been discussed to provide a way to allow scheming more
easily, but
I don't think anyone's come up with a demo, let alone an API
design that
works for 1.x.
I think FLTK 2.x might have provided this, not sure..
I never got familiar with 2.x
