I need reports on a successful widget system from each platform. Widgets have not stopped working on Linux, to my knowledge, provided the correct GTK packages are installed. However, they don't work on Windows due to problems with the outdated windres.exe, to which I have still not heard an end, and they also do not work on Mac without serious poking, I imagine.

So I need TGMG or another similarly capable Mac developer to write Cocoa equivalents for the Win32 widget functions (if the Cocoa API is free-form like Windows) or to the GTK widget functions (if Cocoa is more like GTK). I stress this difference because the Windows widget functions have a function which behaves like the layout managers in wx, GTK, and Java Swing: It is capable of ordering items into a table for the existing layout option.

So get widgets working, people. I've coded what I can; we just need windres and a cocoa port.

After that, I'll need collaboration from IsmAvatar to actually set it back up as it once was.

If you're wondering what build mode is, it's a secret.

That windres shit has been here for too long now, can't there just be a work-around implemented.

I'm not hacking together a program to fix a mistake that shouldn't (and soon won't) exist.

What makes you think it soon won't exist? Haven't you been saying that for like a year.

For all I know, it's already out, and you just haven't updated.

That's not the case, I've checked.

More than a year. But I for one know where the mistake lies, so I fix it the first time I install a fresh ENIGMA. I also use widgets a lot. Though there should be a get_color and the layout thing working.
