Today starts a new series on the Notebook widget. Over the next 
few weeks, we'll dig in deep, looking at single-tab and 
multiple-tab demos, customizing the look of the actual tabs, 
adding and removing tabs... a whole ton of stuff. Sounds like 
fun, right?

Come on over and check it out:

Good works

Is there any way to detect the size of my screen using gtkd? So 
that incan calculate the size of my screen and center my window 
on the screen using move(x, y).

Besides can you convert all your posts to a pdf that is easily 
downloadable for those with little internet access?

Thanks, GreatSam4sure.

I had a quick look into this and there is no straightforward 
solution, so I can't give you an immediate answer. It would be 
easier to explain with a demo, so I'll need some time to work one 
up. I've put it on my to-do list.

I've been thinking about an ebook based on the blog, something 
that would start with installing a development environment, go 
into how to organize and write each part of an application, and 
end with how to distribute the finished product. It's in very 
early stages ATM, but I'm open to any suggestions you (or anyone 
else) may have for how to make it as useful as possible.

Thanks, it will be better to use coded. It is very easy to stand 
a gtkd project in coded and vs code.


All dependency taking care of. Dub will download the dependency 
for if you are connected to the internet

I was distracted last time I replied to this thread and so 
overlooked the obvious.

This is actually very simple to do. Add this to your Window or 
MainWindow constructor:

Window.setPosition(WindowPosition.CENTER);

That's it.

Here's a full example, so you can see it in its natural habitat:

Nice work, Ron!

I'm just converted some of you examples into dub based projects, 
and compiled and run them a normal intel PC and a Raspberry. As a 
prerequisite I had to install the following on a Raspian Lite 
installation (from a NOOP sdcard, no GUI)

$ sudo apt install libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0

I also installed dub and ldc2 on it:

$ sudo apt install dub ldc2

I prepared a new project

$ dub init gtk_test_0 gtk-d

and replaced the contents of source/app.d with your very first 
example 'Hello GtkD Imperative'.

Assuming you logged in with 'ssh -YXC pi <yourbox>', you can 
compile and start it with

$ dub run

A nice empty GTK window should appear now. Of course a normal 
Raspbian installation with GUI should work as well.

Ever considered to provide such dub based examples on 
GitHub/GitLab/... for easy access?

Such source examples could be very helpful for GTK newbies. And 
dub projects should work on Windows as well.

Well, that's pretty cool.

Yup! It's coming. Also, module-based stuff.

Yup, absolutely.
