Greetings, it's come to my attention that the "last edited" timestamp on https://xcb.freedesktop.org/adoption/ is more than four years old, and I have just the solution to this small problem. I've been hacking away at the following in my copious spare time, originally for self-educational purposes, but I'm modestly proud of my own widget toolkit, LibCXXW: http://www.libcxx.org/w/ and I think it would make a very fine addition to the xcb/adoption page. Besides the base libxcb library, libcxxw uses xcb-ewmh, xcb-icccm, xcb- image, and xcb-renderutil libraries; and I acknowledge this on the installation page. After some 6-7 years (I forget exactly) of working with libxcb I found it to be reliable, very well designed, and documented; and easily absorbed as a building block for a high-level, C++1x widget toolkit. At the beginning of this small adventure of mine, several years ago, I came here with just a few questions, and the replies were very helpful with steering me in the right direction. They were very much appreciated, and without libxcb (as well as all the related, openly documented, relevant protocols) I don't think I would've been able to learn all that I've learned about the low-level innards of X, and be able to accomplish this modest accomplishment of mine. P.S. There seems to be some mailman trouble around here someplace, I originally got this from lists.freedesktop.org, when attempting to talk to your mailman via SMTP: <[email protected]>: gabe.freedesktop.org [131.252.210.177]: >>> RCPT TO:<[email protected]> <<< 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table I was able to get in touch with mailman via HTTP, but someone might want to look into this… _______________________________________________ Xcb mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb
