First Evaluation completed :)
First of all thanks to my mentor to pass the first evaluation of the GSoC2020.
Before discussing the current workflow, here is the picture of the icons work, I forgot to put it in the previous post!
I have tested the DPI option also with the six-button mouse and the with button mouse in haiku. The DPI is working well.
Now, I am working on the mouse configurations for different mouses. This work takes a lot of time as compare to the other tasks because it needs a complete understanding of how the input_server works. While working on this issue I learn new things which are good!
This blog will contain all the information about what I have done in the community bonding period. It’s a bit late to post a blog because I have my exams from 29 May 2020 - 3 June 2020.
My first task was to add the icons to the device list which was completed from my side and now working on its backlogs.
Please have a review
For completing this task first I understood the code of the icon that was used in the media preference. Then, by following the coding criteria I added the space for the icons on the left side of the items. But, while adding the icons to it. The icons were not present then, PulkoMandy told me the icons that were used in the media have fixed size. But here, the icons have a variable size. To get the icons in the list I have to use BIconUtils. After following the above idea I completed my task. :)
Introduction:
I am Preetpal Kaur B.Tech.(3rd year), Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) student of Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, India. Last year I worked on an Input Preferences project in Haiku as an Outreachy intern 2019, which encapsulates all the preferences in a single dialog window. Now, my aim is to explore this project more by adding the new preferences for the devices and enhance their functionalities.
About my project:
Previously, the input preferences contained the UI and the functionalities of mouse, keyboard, keymap and touchpad. Now, to enhance it more, I decided to add the more GUI and functionalities of the wacom tablet and joystick. Also it needs to add more buttons for mouse for powerful users. In haiku, each application has a logo for each. So, it should also be the same for input preferences.
