mocha-ui

MochaUI is a web applications user interface library built on the Mootools javascript framework. Canvas tag graphics are used for much of the Mocha GUI components. IE8 RC1 CompatibilityAs of r426 in the SVN, all of the MochaUI demos should now be compatible with IE8 RC1 in both the ... [More] "IE=7" and "IE=8" X-UA-Compatible modes. As long as it isn't too far off in the future, sometime after the final release of IE8 I will probably release MochaUI 1.0. So if you want to get your sites IE8 compatible before that time please get the code from the SVN.

There are still a few issues to fix before its an official release as it turns out. This updated beta jar fixes JDK 1.5 issues with WindowHelper, among other things. 6/07/2009 - JFXtras Core 0.5 Beta for JavaFX 1.2 now available for download. 4/13/2009 - JFXtras Core 0.4 has now been released. Highlights include: JFXTras has been split into 3 separate modules: Core, Samples, and Test New ScrollBar/View class. New Resizable layouts: ResizableCustomNode.fx, ResizableImageView.fx, ResizableMediaView.fx, ResizableHBox.fx, ResizableVBox.fx, and updates to ResizableRectangle.fx Added in an ImageFix class that fixes backgroundLoading defects. Added in ImageUtil with helper methods for working with images. Some new shapes New Border component New reflection accelerator class New JSON->Object converter New layout Constraints system Updates to the Grid Defect fixes for Shapes, Dialog, and others. 2/17/09 - JFXtras version 0.3 is officially released. The new features are the highly anticipated MigLayout, and JavaFX 1.1 compatibility. In fact JavaFX 1.1 is required for this version, and vice versa, since the binaries are not backwards compatible. 1/23/09 - JFXtras version 0.2 is released! This includes a new library of custom shapes via integration with the jSilhouette Project as well as updates to the Grid and Test packages. Read more about the release on the following blogs: http://steveonjava.com/2009/01/23/jfxtras-02-release-shapes-shapes-and-more/ http://learnjavafx.typepad.com/weblog/2009/01/jfxtras-02-released-featuring-extra-shapes-for-javafx.html http://www.jroller.com/aalmiray/entry/jsilhouette_0_3_released Also, thanks to Jim Weaver you can view the shapes demo online: 12/30/08 - I pushed out a quick 0.1.1 update that fixes the packaging structure to match the JavaFX APIs. Specifically, the layout and shape packages moved under org.jfxtras.scene. Thanks to Dean Iverson for pointing this out! 12/29/08 - JFXtras version 0.1 is released! Please check the downloads section for source and binaries, and the Javadoc for questions about the API. 12/07 - Posted a snapshot jar built against the JavaFX 1.0 Release The purpose of the JFXtra project is to create a package of essential add-ons and utilities for the JavaFX Script language that fill in gaps that application developers need. Volunteers and contributions are very welcome! Please join the mailing list! The 0.1 release includes the following capabilities that augment what JavaFX 1.0 provides: Dialogs - The JFXtra Dialog provides a drop-in replacement for a Stage that will pop-up a real Java Dialog. This includes support for an owner window, modality, alwaysOnTop, the ability to hide the taskbar icon, and many other features. Layouts - The JFXtra Grid provides an advanced layout container that can be used for JavaFX nodes and wrapped swing components. Testing - JFXtras provides a declarative Unit Testing facility that allows you to write JavaFX tests in the JavaFX language. It is modeled after best-of-class behavior-driven and fluent testing patterns to make tests easier to read and maintain. Asynchronous Worker - Working on the theory that developers deserve their share of rope, JFXtras provides an asynchronous worker wrapper that allows you to execute pure JavaFX code on a background thread. JFXtras Grid in Action Future releases will include the following as well: Serialization - JavaFX has a powerful declarative model and reflection capabilities, but no standard serialization to and from XML. Graphing and Charting - JFXtras will provide the advanced graphing and charting capabilities required to build compelling visual user interfaces for business applications Components - A wide variety of quality JavaFX-based components will be provided (such as sliders, tables, etc.). Project values: Language - While we value existing Java libraries and components, we prefer 100% native JavaFX code where possible. Quality - We put our reputation behind everything we release with thorough testing and documentation. Community - We are real developers building real applications on JavaFX, and will prioritize the needs of the community over everything else. Note about compatibility: The JavaFX language is still in its early stages and there may be cases where a future release breaks or replaces certain functionality. We commit to provide patches and updates as necessary to protect your investment in this library. [Less]

voice-dialog

SPEECH ENABLING DIALOG: BUILDING A SIMPLE SPEECH 'GUI' Voice-dialog is a speech version of the widely used ncurses widget library, dialog. In this project, dialog has been voice enabled to work with popular speech synthesis engines such as Festival, Flite and eSpeak. The goal of the ... [More] project is to instrument intelligent speech rendering into each of the native curses-based widgets of dialog. All the components of dialog have been speech enabled except for tailbox. Michael Gorse's Emacspeak eflite server provided the original model for building a threaded speech control subsystem. The quality of the interface still needs to be tuned to improve usability. Also work needs to be done to reduce certain artifacts of speech generation such as popping between audio segments and anomolies in waveform shaping when increasing voice speed. However, the work so far provides enough interface power to satisfy the requirements of certain real-life installation, configuration, and information scripts. Examples include the dialog-based configuration and help scripts of the lnx-bbc Linux rescue distribution. Once voice-dialog is launched with one of the supported widgets, the following speech-enabled audio control commands are available: Control-A V will toggle volume control. Control-A S will toggle speed control. Control-A P will toggle pitch control. Control-A R will refresh the voice screen. Control-A H will announce a help message. Plus ('+') will increment volume, speed, or pitch depending on mode. Minus ('-') will decrement volume, speed, or pitch depending on mode. If a .voice-dialogrc configuration file has been found in the user's home directory, then any new values given to the speech settings will be saved. [Less]
