Wayland support about rust_minifb HOT 20 CLOSED

wayland-rs seems to be pretty good

from rust_minifb.

Are there currently API changes planned? Because Id like to restructure the code a bit to prepare for Wayland support.

from rust_minifb.

Created issue #133 for that.

from rust_minifb.

@cole-h Just created it. #141

from rust_minifb.

Yeah that would be nice to add. Currently I don't have time to do it but can perhaps look into it in a month or so. How is Rust support (crates and such) for wayland in general?

from rust_minifb.

No API changes are planned right now.

As I started writing a bit code for Wayland I wondered why minifb uses 0RGB and not ARGB - do some platforms not support the alpha channel?

from rust_minifb.

What you are showing in minifb is the "final result" so what would would the alpha channel be blended against?

from rust_minifb.

Against the colors which are behind the window as most transparent windows do it but I think this should only be the case when the window is borderless.

from rust_minifb.

I guess it can be implemented but should be off by default then. I also have no idea if all OSes support this.

from rust_minifb.

How is this to be interpreted?
https://docs.rs/minifb/0.14.0/minifb/struct.WindowOptions.html#structfield.resize
Does true mean resizing is allowed and false resizing is disallowed?
Because the default is false but I am able to resize on X11.

from rust_minifb.

That is correct. The "problem" on X11 is that it's just a hint and the OS can ignore it. What otherwise happens (on macOS and Windows) is when you hover the mouse over the lower right corner is that you can't drag and resize the window (or press some button in the window bar)

from rust_minifb.

Ok so far I got some stuff now. I mainly need to handle all input and window events now(update() and update_with_buffer() )

from rust_minifb.

cool!

from rust_minifb.

What should update_with_buffer do when the width and height are unequal to the windows size? Resize the window?

from rust_minifb.

I think the scaling code will handle that the buffer is too big but I haven't tested. Resizing will not work in some cases (like i3 for example may refuse the resize)

from rust_minifb.

Would be nice if people could test my code at this point(and maybe review the code), if there are any issues you can find.

from rust_minifb.

It would make it easier to review/comment on/etc. if it were an actual PR to this repo 😉. Good work so far!

ETA: It would also be nice to have what works and what doesn't work in the PR body so reviewers don't point out the obvious (to you).

from rust_minifb.

I saw, thank you! I'm not the most knowledgeable about Rust or Wayland, but I'll try to make some time to chime in this weekend.

from rust_minifb.

@emoon You better close this one.
