APITheMuso, you here?12:57
TheMusoAPI: I am around now.20:08
APITheMuso, well, now I'm the one with not too much time ;)20:08
APIanyway, just in case it is quick20:09
APIjoanie mentioned some stuff related with the "Hud"20:09
APIafaik, this is something new on unity20:09
TheMusoThats right it is.20:09
APIjoanie also mentioned something about you mentioned that if atk support would be implemented directly on nux, that should be accessible20:10
APIso20:10
APIit is this hud thing a program different to unity?20:10
TheMusoYes I know this was talked about at the beginniing of unity a11y enablement, and there was a reason which I can't remember.20:10
APIor it is part of unity itself?20:10
TheMusoAPI: No its not.20:10
TheMusoits part of unity20:10
APIwell, in that case it doesn't matter if it was implemented on nux or unity20:10
APIatk support on unity is based on nux type system20:11
TheMusoyeah I am aware of that20:11
APIat least the part that get the specific accessible object from the specific nux object20:11
APIin that sense20:11
APIunity atk support include objects based directly on nux objects20:11
APIso it would not be any difference to have it directly on nux20:11
APIanyway, if that hud is new20:12
APIand it is a new window20:12
TheMusoYes I am aware of this. My initial gripe was that if we had wrapped nux directly in the first place, we wouldn't have to have to write new code for every additional piece of Unity widget based ui.20:12
APIwell, as I said it would not be any difference20:12
APIany new Unity widget will have an accessible object20:12
APIanyway, and based on experience and not in looking at the coding20:13
TheMusobut there was a reason why dx didn't want that, but I can't remember why.20:13
APImy first guess is that a new container was implemented20:13
TheMusoright20:13
APIand the get_child is not implemented20:13
TheMusoright20:13
APITheMuso, well at that time20:13
APIthey wanted to have the minimum impact on nux20:13
TheMusoThats right.20:13
APIasking for new signals or methods were right20:13
APIbut they wanted to have all the atk code in just one place20:14
APIas nux is only used by unity (AFAIK)20:14
APIthis is ok, and in the end, doesn't matter20:14
APIthe only thing I didn't like too much is not having the option to add an "add_accessible" on nux20:14
APIas right now is using a hash table20:14
APIbut apart from that ...20:14
TheMusoYep.20:14
APIanyway, I still have pending add some unit tests20:15
APIif I'm able to finish this gnome shell patches I will try to look to that unit tests, and also a quick peek20:15
APIto check if that hud thing is just that container thing, or something bigger20:15
TheMusoAPI: Ok take your time.20:16
TheMusoI think Unity 2D will be the preferred option for the LTS anyway.20:16
APITheMuso, ok20:17
APIhmm20:17
APIpreferred option in general or for accessibility?20:17
TheMusoFor accessibility.20:18
APITheMuso, ok20:19
APIwell, and having said so20:19
APII need to go20:19
APIthanks for the ping20:19
APIsee you20:19
