apps/graphics/twm4nx: Revise logic to detect clicks on the background image. The original implementation had some side effects.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Remove some remaining, unused stuff from TWM that was never used. Menus need to close after the 'terminal' selection is made. Otherwise, the menu can become buried under a newly open menu and not easily recovered.
apps/graphics/twm4ndx: Add a 'critical' bit to the eventID. While resizing, all events will be ignore except those marked critical.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: CBackground now brings up the main menu if the background image is click. This makes the behavior the same across all of the background except when an icon is clicked.
Squashed commit of the following:
apps/graphics/twm4nx: The calibration seems to be functional. Needs more testing.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Extend event handling to support receiving raw, uncalibaated touchscreen inputs. This is needed for touchscreen calibration.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Extend event handling to support shutting down of externally controlled windows. This is need to end the calibration sequence.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: CCalibration now compiles okay, but is missing event handling logic for touchscreen input and for window termination.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Move application-related files into different directories to separate them from the core Twm4Nx files.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: A little more progress on calibration display.
app/graphics/twm4ndx: Add files that will support a calibration display. This initial commit is simply the calibration display from NxWM and is not hooked into the configuration or build systems.
apps/graphics/twm4ndx: Compile out cursor support if we are using a mouse
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Clean up some build issues.
apps/graphics/nxglyphs: Remove some warnings due to coupling with NXWM.
apps/graphics/twmndx: Separate out the main() entry point for ctwm4nx.cxx. There is functionality there that does not involve CTwm4Nx and so it is better if the main function were totally separate.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Fix a bad width calculation.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Debugging resize. Only partially functional.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Forgot to install the IEventTap instance. No resizing kind of works, but I can't get out of it! There is a basic problem in the window needs to be updated for the new size and there is no mechanism in place to do that (at least not with RAM backed windows).
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Add missing part of the resize logic. Initial testing is mixed. The resize window appears, but nothing else good happens. No hardfaults though.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: This is a complete redesign of the CResize class. Unverified on initial commit.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Commit of in-progress resize changes
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Rename IDragEvent interface to IEventTap. I intend to reuse this interface for window resizing as well as dragging.
apps/graphics/twm4nx: Some trivial elimination of some unused logic in CResize.
version 1.0.10 to NuttX NX windows server. No, a port is not the right
word. It is a re-design of TWM from the inside out to work with the NuttX
NX server. The name Twm4Nx reflects this legacy. But Twm4Nx is more a
homage to TWM than a port of TWM.
The original TWM was based on X11 which provides a rich set of features.
TWM provided titlebars, shaped windows, several forms of icon management,
user-defined macro functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard
focus, graphic contexts, and user-specified key and pointer button bindings,
etc.
Twm4Nx, on the other hand is based on the NuttX NX server which provides
comparatively minimal support. Additional drawing support comes from
the NuttX NxWidgets library (which necessitated the change to C++).
Twm4Nx is greatly stripped down and targeted on small embedded systems
with minimal resources. For example, no assumption is made about the
availability of a file system; no .twmrc file is used. Bitmaps are not
used (other than for fonts).
The TWM license is, I believe compatible with the BSD license used by NuttX.
The origin TWM license required notice of copyrights within each file and
a full copy of the original license which you can find in the COPYING file.

STATUS:
This port was brutal. Much TWM logic was removed because it depending on X11 features (or just because I could not understand how to use it). The logic is partial. A lot more needs to be done to have a complete system (hence, it is marked EXPERIMENTAL). The kinds of things that need to done are:
1. Update some logic that is only fragmentary for how like resizing, and menus.
2. Integrate NxWidgets into the windows: The resize menu needs a CLabel, the menus are CListBox'es, but not completely integrated, the Icon Manager needs to be a button array.
3. Resit Icons. They are windows now, but need to be compound widgets lying on the background.
4. Widget events are only partially integrated. A lot more needs to be done. A partial change to thoe event system that hints at the redesign is in place but it is far from complete.
