Uncomment the SetFont implementation and pop - up a dialog, e.g. an About box. Widgets are arranged - incorrectly. Seems to be OK for non-dialog panels, once the - size has been restored after the font setting. - In fact it seems OK for dialogs now!!! Weird. - -- ChangeFont should have an extra arg, to allow for not resizing - the window back to the original size after setting the font. - Also don't call SetFont from constructor, assign the font and - call ChangeFont so we can pass FALSE if the size has been passed - as the default (which means: wxWin should choose an appropriate - size, so Motif should expand/contract the widget as appropriate). - -- Colour setting in widgets (almost done). - -- Implementation of OnEraseBackground. How? Call OnEraseBackground - just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background. - However, this is usually OK, because the default wxWindow::OnEraseBackground - can do nothing (SetBackgroundColour will make the background look OK). - And if a custom OnEraseBackground uses the same colour as the window - background, no flicker will be seen. If it does something else, such as - painting a tiled bitmap, then a slight flicker might be seen unless - X can be persuaded not to repaint the window background by default. - -- wxSpinButton - -- A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and - other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a - starting point. +- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin + app to allow changing settings interactively. -- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors. +- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted + event such as OnChar to the system).

Could use old wxWin 1.68 wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated.
