10:10Bo, you want "ssh -X"

10:11or, "export DISPLAY=:0" if you want it to appear on the local display rather than your remote one

10:11(the latter you type *after* logging in via SSH)

18:16NickA and Gabriele: Thanks a lot! It's amazing how much knowledge you all have. :-)

23:12Next thing I want to try is to resize an image in R3-GUI. I'm trying the following which isn't working:

view/no-wait/options [
    box 240x320 black
    y: image %img/eye1.gif 20x20 with [facets: [max-size: 20x20 min-size: 20x20]]
    z: image %img/eye1.gif 20x20
][offset: 0x0 flags: [no-title on-top]]

It is displaying the image in full size.

23:13In VID, we used to be able to do this:

view/new layout/size [
    across
    background black
    y: image %img/eye1.gif 20x20 effect ['fit]
] 240x320

Things seem much harder in R3-GUI.

10:41I am doing some tests with Saphirion's R3-GUI (as I cannot figure out how to run Carl's GUI). What's wrong with this code:

>> view [b: button "hello"]
** Script error: layout word is not bound to a context
** Where: if view
** Near: if block? window [

10:44Ok, got it:

>> load-gui
Fetching GUI...
>> view [button "hello"]
== make gob! [offset: 890x562 size: 140x34 alpha: 255 text: "REBOL: untitled"]

10:48Where does `load-gui` store the loaded code? I can't find it in system/view and system/view/VID seems to be gone in R3...

10:51Carl's GUI is different. Not sure it will work with Saphir's code?

10:59If I say that I'm lost in the R3 GUIs ecosystem, I guess it would feel familiar to others. ;-)

11:03Actually, I just wanted to have a look at how R3 implements a style, especially how actors are stored. In Carl's docs, they seemed to be stored in a block, I just wanted to check in the code if that was the case for real or not.

Pekr

11:03>> source load-gui
load-gui: make function! [[
    "Download current GUI module from web. (Temporary)"
    /local data
][
    print "Fetching GUI..."
    either error? data: try [load http://www.rebol.com/r3/gui.r] [
        either data/id = 'protocol [print "Cannot load GUI from web."] [do err]
    ] [
        do data
    ]
    exit
]]

11:03ok, can feed you some docs ....

11:04There are Carl's GUI docs, which implement actors, reactors, and then public Github repo of Saphir docs, which cancelled reactors ...

DocKimbel

11:05I want to check the source code, not the docs.

Pekr

11:06ah ...

DocKimbel

11:08I decompressed the GUI sources from the rebol.com link, so at least I can have a look now. :-)

Pekr

11:09I have somewhere even Gabriele's GUI :-)

11:09What I like about the R3-GUI is on-* actions ...
