Thanks for your reply.
After thinking long and hard about it, the API itself isn't that bad (it works and when understood is quite locigal). But the documentation of it could use some updates.
Here are some recommendations and questions:
- How is the relationship between the different interfaces? A simple tree graph or similar could really clear that up.
- Show some (pseudo-code?) examples on how to actually use it.
- What happens if the client crashes? Thus Gnome15 clean everything up? What do i have to do for a clean shutdown?
- The drawing commands feel quite slow. Any way to batch process them?
- The Image() page function rocks. I was able to play high FPS movies. But what formats are supported?
- Gnome15 also controls the keyboard backlight and the G-Key mapping, right? Could i use the API to control that?
After writing my "list of demands", i like to really thank you for a very nice software. It actually is more fun to use the G19 on Linux than on Windows (with the possible exception of playing DNF)!
