Hi,
I'm interested in making an application I'm about to start writing
skinnable, but I have absolutely no idea where to begin. If anyone has a
broad overview of how I would go about it or some links to resources that
might help it would be much appreciated. Are there any free libraries I
should look at too (I am a student developer, so paying isn't an option!)?
I might settle for simply having a custom interface rather than it actually
being skinnable, and I have some idea of how I could fudge it with image
controls, but I'd rather do it properly if there is indeed a 'proper' way.
Cheers,
Ben

I'm very near finishing a medium to large scale application, so I'm
getting a head start on the GUI side of things. Part of the concept is
to give as much attention to presentation as functionality, and
something I really wanted to do was transcend the basic window and
style it to an extent,
To be honest, the wxPopupWindow was basically what I was looking for,
but it isn't available on Mac, eliminating that possibility.

I'm caching data in the Application object to speed up certain pages on a website
The main reason is that the retrieval of this data takes quite a while (a few seconds) and fetching the same data from the "cache" hardly takes any time
A basic pattern used to get the data from disk, or from cache is this
data = getDataFromCache("mydata"
if data = "" the
data = getDataFromDisk(

I am developing a Dot net application (involving image processing) on

The usual performance of the application on MP machine is better than
that of uni processor machine. But the performance of MP degrades when
it comes to the multi-threaded part of the application. I am...

How does one launch multiple forms in an application?
Using Photoshop as an example, this application seems to be composed of many
'disjoint' forms. Yet, they all seem somewhat 'active' in contrast to one of
them always being 'modal' (e.g., if you are moving over a picture the 'Info'
form will update the (x,y) screen location in realtime even if not the
selected form. Also note that this example implies the various forms can

Hi,
I would like to understand the process of a skinable application.
I mean i know that there are some pictures stored into a file and
application use them.
But what i would like to understand it's the solution itself like :
- is it better to have each picture in a separated file, or several
different images can be in 1 file (as winamp for example) ?
- if several images are in 1 file, how to select the right one ?
- when to apply...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
