@unique311: I didn't mean exactly hildonizing it. Since we are talking about a fullscreen app, SDL can do wonders (if that can be done of course

But that's really all that's to it. The official website calls it a "painting
application". Taking that and transforming it into a graphics editor
with layers, vector & font support and some of the tools you see in
my mockups would require a lot of spare time.

Gtk+ - underlying Hildon - is perfectly capable of doing semi-transparent buttons/widgets. See, for example, the home applets, status bar area and task navigator in OS2008.

Cheers,

It's for 100% unable to do this interface on n810 with appropriate speed. So much alpha blending will eat cpu power like a hippo, as i think. Just try to scroll Canola2 album cover list and you'll see what i'm talking bout. But it's still very pretty looking though =)

I dunno; the bit behind the widgets will be relatively static and not high-speed scrolling with little latency and high refresh speed (the requirements of Canola's album cover list). Also, it would almost certainly have to implemented in C, C++ or Vala to get the necessary speed - so wouldn't suffer Canola's problems with running in Python.

OS2008's using alpha-blended semi-transparency out-of-the-box, it'd be nice for more apps to use similar (and the mockup above is really nice).

Canola is using Enlightment Edje for drawing and python for control, so that's not related to the GTK widgets in any way

I saw a youtube of gimp on a n800, it works fine as far as the paintbrush goes. I think it was vecktor drawing not sure.

Search it and watch yourself

There used to be a program called Horizon (that was Gimp-based AFAIK) for the 770. I don't think anyone ported it forward but it was a pretty functional graphical editor with an "infinte" canvas.

Website here:
http://pippin.gimp.org/horizon/

The basic editing tools from that combined with the semi transparent UI mocked up here would be a pretty sweet deal.

I have Horizon running on my ITOS2007 N800.

Or I should say: I have it installed. The UI is a bit too freaky for me, so I haven't fired it up in some time. I do my drawing in MaemoPad+. It's limited in functionality, but it supports pressure sensitivity very nicely and even does some minor colour-washing (just try a grey-ish colour with a 10-point or above stylus and repeatedly colour over the same area. It's wery cool)

Man, I could kill for a port of ArtRage...
