Hi Vovchik

Gtk2 Working

Only Comment there , as noticed , There is a While loop. no Sleep ? naughty

On RPI , Recommend putting Sleep in , this allows other apps to do there bits, Agh! some food for though for others
like Xaw

Not Sure how Syc is working I normally place the Syn just before sleep. again this may be RPI specific
but it does improve the averall smothness, and ensures the events / updates work correctly
WHILE TRUE
event$ = GUIEVENT$(id)
PRINT "Event: ", event$
SELECT event$
CASE "window"
END
CASE "but1"
ANIM_START
CASE "but2"
ANIM_STOP
CASE "but3"
MY_QUIT
END SELECT
SLEEP 1
WEND

Just tested gtk3 , that works as well

Hi Vovchik

Not sure but I think there is a problem , possible

This
GUIEVENT
not sure what is going on , but is a Time-out been added somewhere

try mutilple click's on the Go and pause,

GTK3 problematic esp when Running with Chromium -- Desktop Freezes , had to switch the pi off

also think it is assibated when viewing & or logged onto this site ,

Hi All & users / viewers

Please Note these are probably Raspberry Pi issue RE GTK3 and Chromium issues:

memory footprint on basic RPI3 is 1gb : Chromium typical uses after a period of time
Big Chunks of Memory :: Bad Bad

Here is a view of one page :: after Launching & collapsing Chromium

That is normal behaviour for the Rpi, is my experience.
I have Chromium stuck if I open too many pages, or some 'fat' pages.
I cannot open Two basic.converter pages if at the same time I Fossil a new bacon.
The thing is just to small.

You can however, since these things are so ridiculously cheap, Fossil on another Rpi, and chromium on the next.
and then you just ssh the results (the new bacon executable etc) back to your chromium Rpi (etc).

Just put a few Rpi's extra on your intranet.

Also I have this icon in the, what's it called, toolbar of my desktop. 
Press it, and it kills chromium. (hopefully)
Click it, if your mouse is still a little bit moving, before you are too late.

I stole it from .. eh ... this blog, and adapted it a bit.
You have to rewrite it, for it is adapted already too much for my specific needs.
But I'll publish it for you here nevertheless.
Maybe it can be of use, if you throw away half of it.

Edit: oh, the svg I do not publish, for I do not know if it is open source, you have to pick your own.

The 3th thing that I use is Berryboot. (duckkduckgo berryboot)
Which enables me to start with a clean system by just removing the 'data' folder.
And then I have my shared folder(s)  with all the things I do not want to reinstall every time again, and my own programs.

Puppy worked better, but there is not a real puppy boot thing for RPi jet.

Dear Rik, Joe and Alex,

I have a 4 GB RPi4, so I do not run into the memory problem often. However, there is New Moon (on the Palemoon site - www.palemoon.org/download) that runs nicely on my Pi4. One link is here (for Raspberry Pi Debian 9.0 and 10.0):

palemoon

You might want to try it.

With kind regards,

Hello vovchik

Thanks palemoon works well



==========================================================
If I am compiling bacon from fossil I DONT use chrome period

if I need to read some instructions or some info I use w3m

it will let you sign into the forum but it is very odd to move around
you have to double click the username then on the bottom line you get TEXT:

and fill in your username
then the same double click for password
PASSWORD:

fill password


then press continue yes its very odd but works


I wouldnt want to use it for answering posts though
I guess only in an emergency while compiling bacon from fossil and cant wait till it finished

Dear all (@alex),

Dear all,

Here is a little spinner (throbber) demo. It seems to be working nicely. I am experimenting with widgets and learning.

With kind regards,
vovchik

UPDATED: Added slight image change when throbber is active.

Hello vovchik


thanks for your demos they are very clear and to the point
to show the different syntax needed

this was one of the first widgets I studied in HUG
when you added it directly from gtk
around 2012 ! and so we don't lose some history



I will post some relative reference links to HUG syntax for this widget
so if anyone that used HUG can port to the new syntax

Dear Joe,

Thanks for testig. I made a slight mod to the throbber demo, adding a minor change to the image when the throbber is working, just for fun.

With kind regards,

Dear all,

Here is another animation demo ported from HUG. It seems to work.
