The Next Generation: Widgets & Themes

by Kevin Miller on July 8, 2014 45 comments

Watch this video to see me demonstrate a first prototype of the Widgets & Themes project. This is one of the most exciting parts of our entire Next-generation project. We’re now at a stage where it is working well enough that I can show you this first version working. This work has been enabled by all the work we’ve done under the hood over the last year or so.

In this video, I show a prototype widget that displays a PDF, the code that makes it work, then explain the potential for using this feature in a variety of ways to extend LiveCode. Finally I give a brief tour of the first early prototype widget editor, which demonstrates how you will be able to create these widgets yourself and install them into the IDE with a single click.

I hope you enjoy the video!
