http://localhost/desktop/blog/4 ROX is a fast, user friendly desktop which makes extensive use of drag-and-drop. The interface revolves around the file manager, or filer, following the traditional Unix view that `everything is a file' rather than trying to hide the filesystem beneath start menus, wizards, or druids. The aim is to make a system that is well designed and clearly presented. The ROX style favours using several small programs together instead of creating all-in-one mega-applications. en http://localhost/desktop/node/268 <p>My current plans for <a href="/desktop/freelinking/ROX-CLib">ROX-CLib</a> are:</p> <ul> <li>2.1.8. This was done in March 2006. The major new feature: internationalization support. The messages in ROX-CLib are now translatable, there is a .po file, the .mo files are generated and stored inside the AppDir, and are used when found. Apps get their .mo files loaded if found. </li><li>2.1.9 was released November 2006. This includes: <ul> <li>More support for menus, simplifying the code that needs to be in the app. </li><li>Extended attribute support. </li><li>Support for building against GTK 2.4 using <a href="http://0install.net">Zero Install</a>. </li><li><a href="http://0install.net">0compile</a> support </li></ul> </li><li>2.1.10 sometime in the future, including: <ul> <li>Improved system tray interface </li><li>xxmlrpc for communicating with ROX-Session </li><li>libglade interface similar to that in <a href="/desktop/freelinking/ROX-Lib">ROX-Lib</a>. </li></ul> </li><li>2.2.0, hopefully this will be 2.1.10 deemed stable. </li></ul> <p><a href="http://localhost/desktop/node/268" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://localhost/desktop/node/268#comments Developers Sat, 04 Mar 2006 11:11:43 +0000 kerofin 268 at http://localhost/desktop
