Goods news. :) I waited for it since June.

I looked at demos and liked it.

However I was not impressed with tabview button scrolling.  I would add
drop down list of tab buttons in right corner for quick access. Like
firefox.

Hi

I also thing that the tabview scrolling is not perfect this way.
A dropdown list as option would be good, but also the scrolling itself
is not perfect. A click on the buttons should directly jump to the selected

Some month ago I wrote a test-app for myself about this, the source
version can be seen here:
http://rubyweb.de:12001/qooxdoo/tabtest/testapp/source/

(The code is not finished, has bugs and is ugly... but it shows what I mean)

The arrows directly jumps between the tabs, also a click on a tab brings
it into the view. Also my solution start with tab 1 if the last tab is
reached, but I don't thing that this is a must have.

But this is only my view of this ;)

Greetings,
  Leander

Great... You guys are definitely on the right path...

Here are the issues I got from 10min of testing (using firefox
2.0.0.15 on linux if that matters):

* Resize cursor shouldn't switch back to the arrow cursor during a resize

* Minimize and maximize don't work on any of the examples involving
windows. Not that would make much sense but it might be a good idea to
either disable them or hide them altogether.

* Canvas's syncDimension seem to be inverted.
By the way, is your canvas implementation cross-browser?

* I often get a slight "flicker" when using a widget for the first
time. This is especially noticeable on checkboxes and radio buttons
(for example those in the groupbox demo): when I *first* click on one
of those, a black border appears for a fraction of a second.

* The "tab focus" indicator is kinda ugly on the modern theme buttons
(as seen in the "Modern Tree" demo).

* "ui/Decoration 2" demo doesn't seem to do anything.

* Horizontal resizing in the "Window Modern" demo often leads to a
strange result: the "shadow image" is dragged... Which logically leads
to the image path
(http://demo.qooxdoo.org/0.8-alpha2/demobrowser/resource/qx/decoration/Modern/window/shadow-r.png)
being added to the window textfield if I happen release the mouse
button when I'm shrinking the window.

Cheers,

 let's add that:

* the spinner with a numberformat is still not working.

* when moving the mouse quickly over "modern appearance" buttons, you
can easily leave some of them highlighted, even with the mouse cursor
not over them anymore. Doesn't seem to happen on "classic"
appearance...

It may not be obvious in the demo but sync dimension is actually
correct. When dealing with canvas we have to work with two coordinate
systems. The internal coordinate system of the canvas and the CSS size
of the canvas' DOM element. When sync dimension is true, both dimensions
are always the same. This means one pixel unit in the canvas corresponds
to one pixel unit in the browser and thus the window with the synced
canvas always displays the rectangles with the same size. The window
with the non synced dimensions always uses the initial canvas dimensions
and only updates the CSS sizes. The effect is that the canvas's content
is scaled to the DOM dimensions.

It is not cross browser. It is only a widget wrapper for the native
canvas element. A true cross browser rendering context is something we
would like to have in qooxdoo but is definitively out of scope for 0.8.

In alpha2 we focussed on the widget infrastructure like focus handling
and theming. Many widgets are still incomplete and need some more love.
The tabview is one of those widgets. I have collected your suggestions
in a bug (<http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061>) and we'll
consider them once we prepare the tabview for the final release.

Please feel free to add comments and further suggestions to the bug.

Best Fabian

There's another feature I'd like to see in qooxdoo.

It might be useful to consider option to allow users to add comments in API. Like php manual. It would improve community knowledge share, etc.

A documented API like the one of PHP would be very nice. I often found
helpfull examples there, and added my own comments to it.
It's one of the best parts of php ;)

But I also think that this is a little bit more complex in qooxdoo sinde
it doesn't have single powerfull functions but a very huge set of
simplier functions. I think comments below class level wouldn't be very
usefull most time.
