This directory holds a tiny desktop for small embedded devices with a
|
||
|
|
touchscreen,. NxWM. NxWM is true multiple window manager but only one
|
||
|
|
window is displayed at a time. This simplification helps performance on
|
||
|
|
LCD based products (in the same way that a tiled window manager helps)
|
||
|
|
and also makes the best use of small displays. It is awkward from a
|
||
|
|
human factors point-of-view trying to manage multiple windows on a
|
||
|
|
small display.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The window manager consists of a task bar with icons representing the
|
||
|
|
running tasks. If you touch the task's icon, it comes to the top. Each
|
||
|
|
window has a toolbar with (1) a title, (2) a minimize button, and (3) a
|
||
|
|
stop application button using the standard icons for these things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is always a start window that is available in the task bar. When
|
||
|
|
you touch the start window icon, it brings up the start window containing
|
||
|
|
icons representing all of the available applications. If you touch an
|
||
|
|
icon in the start window, it will be started and added to the task bar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a base class that defines an add-on application and an
|
||
|
|
interface that supports incorporation of new application. The only
|
||
|
|
application that is provided is NxTerm. This is an NSH session
|
||
|
|
running in a window. You should be able to select the NX icon in the start
|
||
|
|
menu and create as many NSH sessions in windows as you want. (keybard input
|
||
|
|
still comes through serial).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note 1: NwWM requires NuttX-7.19 or above to work with the current
|
||
|
|
NxWidgets-1.18 release.
