Another slight update to MGViewAnimation (available on the Cocoa Source Code page). This one just adds an override of the -stopAnimation method to behave like NSViewAnimation’s does (i.e. move all animations to their end frame), and a slight optimization. I also got around to including the license in the actual download.
Same license as before, and [...]
I wrote a little category on NSButton tonight to allow getting/setting the color of the label text, e.g. on checkboxes and such. Handy for putting controls in HUD Windows, where you’ll usually want white text instead of the default black.
Since the code is so short, I decided to make it the inaugural entry on pastebuffer.com, [...]
I once again come bearing gifts for you: this time it’s MAAttachedWindow, an NSWindow subclass that lets you visually attach borderless windows to other windows or just to specified points on the screen. It’s potentially useful for displaying contextual help, options related to a part of your UI, or just for drawing attention to things.
Take [...]
Tracking rectangles in NSViews, eh? They’re kind of crap. Getting the events is a bit hit-and-miss, and if you move the mouse too fast you’ll often find that you miss a mouseExited: event and your view is left looking stupid. It’s an old problem, and it’s very annoying. It certainly annoys me.
Rumour has it that [...]
Just a quick note that my MGViewAnimation code (an NSViewAnimation drop-in replacement, which runs all animations on the same thread for better perceived smoothness and synchronisation) has been updated; see the Cocoa Source Code page for the download.
Thanks to Joe Goh for a bug-fix which prevented animations from running unless at least one animation-dictionary had [...]
