                Issue #44

                I'd like the emphasize that I hope for this project to become a community project. That people improve it and grow it.

                Right now I implemented a basic set of controls. I want to get the Milestone 1 issues done so the project has a good solid foundation. Once that is done the next focus would be more controls.

                    Great project! I have also been thinking about something like this.
                    I'm going to try this out, beta or not, it seems way more solid than my own webdialogs 😉

                      It's quite a stable beta. I hope to get the last few issues ironed out soon.

                        I'm also going to try this. Where can I get the most up to date documentation and examples?

                        Questions I have:

                        1. How will language translation work?
                        2. Do you support hints during hovering?
                        3. How well do the components line up? I would like to line things up like this.

                          If it's platform independent, It will become the most downloaded plugin (after Sketchucation tools)
                          👍

                          By devs, certainly! But I don't think regular users will download this.
                          (Well, they will, but embedded in other plugins)

                            Everything is located at the GitHub repository. https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI

                            That's not handled by SKUI. You use your own translator - use it when you create the dialog. You can also change the labels after it's been loaded.

                            Tooltips? By using the .tooltip getter and setter.

                            You line them us as you please. You specify position and size. There is no automatic layout as of now.

                            Note that it's still in beta. It's not 100% complete and might still incur breaking changes so pay attention if you use it and update. The Issue tracker on GitHub got an overview of open issues and what's targeted for the first release.

                              That's why it has to be on the plugin store as a library, and (automatically ?) loaded (by dependency)

                                Can this be installed once - and then used by a number of different plugins by a number of different authors? Or do we have to include a copy of SKUI with each plugin installation?

                                  I've not made it available for user installation.

                                  There is a special loading method that will let you load SKUI into your own namespace without requiring you to modify SKUI, please see the Wiki:
                                  https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI/wiki/Embedding-SKUI-in-Projects

                                  That way you get the version your plugin depend on - which require you to bundle it with your extension.
                                  Since SKUI is still in flux I haven't yet considered any other way of distributing it - as changes would break plugins.

                                  You could always fork the project and modify your own version, changing the root namespace.
                                  Note that the license prohibit distribution of a modified SKUI unless you change the root namespace.
                                  But I'd encourage people to contribute to the main GitHub repo instead of doing their private mods.

                                        Yes, I have a mac I test it on.
                                        How come? You found issues?

                                          So, I'm a bit unclear here - have you found issues with SKUI on OSX?

                                            Completly clear : Before i use it, i wanted to know..... So i don't have any experience yet with SKUI.
                                            Thanks for the info : tested on Mac
