Hello friends.
I want to share some intermediate results of work on GUI, just to let everyone know in what direction we are moving.
A lot of work on integrating currency core and daemon stuff into qt is done. Now we can go much quicker.
Daemon now is able to show the state information in GUI, so it's the first part of work, obviously not really usable without wallet functions, but was very important from technical point of view.
Want to notice one more time: wallet functions is not enabled yet, i'm publishing this just to show concept.
I've uploaded binary for windows and put link to our downloads page:
http://boolberry.com/downloads.html (notice: this is not windows-only GUI, it's desgining as completely cross-platform qt-based GUI).
Static build is not setup yet, so there is just a bunch of dll's, that should be enough to run binary.
Few words about conception: for UI rendering i use WebKit(web browser engine,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit), that is provided by qt as qtWebKit library. You could see folder "html" in qt-daemon archive, so UI is represented as a full-featured html page, that is actually interacts with C++ code by using qt "signals" and "slots". This approach will help us to improve interface with nice appearance and fast implementation.
You may do some experiments with GUI by changing html, and if you have any ideas how to improve it - you could share your html versions with screenshots - it could be easily included into Boolberry, since currend design is just a draft.
Little trick, if you pass this parametr to GUI, you'll get both and GUI and console:
qt-daemon.exe --alloc-win-clonsole
For those who is lazy to download binary i've attached screenshots:
