Certainly am looking for the progress of this...tried it on O2 Atom Life and it works but...like others said in a few posts above, a bit slow..anyway good luck...

The selection is just drawing. The only time they click (and can open the program/shortcut) is when its not detected to be a gesture. Gestures cancel out clicks.

Thanks for all the feedback so far guys, I will continue to work on this and work out the kinks.

Man, I got a flashback of Beryl on Ubuntu :)
Please Check your PM

Okay, I did a LOT of work, mostly optimizing the animation and most of the work was backend improvements. If anyone wants to try it out, the animations should be a lot smoother. Slow load time is a known issue at this point as most of the startup-optimizations I made in the previous test versions were removed when I rewrote the affected code. I will be reoptimizing the startup time, so no need to report that.

Again, there is no actual functionality in this release, aside from the animation and core. You will only see buttons "select" when you press them on the launcher screen, the other screens do nothing.

Here's the new test version: http://misc.barfthedog.net/BAFCubeTest10.exe

[edit]
It would be especially helpful if non-Mogul users could test it as well. I'm curious to see if the flickering issues with the Apache went away. I made some code changes specifically targeting this issue, so I'd expect all flickering to be gone.

alot smoother and litle faster, an issues with rotation gone in 2 screens (Mutimedia and contacts) but still in the main screen (email task ect.) good improvement keep em coming.

Which issue are you referring to? The buttons "selecting" (they won't actually click, just select) or a flicker?

Just tried the new version.

1. Rotation is better but I think a little faster still would be even better.
2. Flash problem is gone.
3. Are you planning text next to the music, photo and video icons? If not I think centering them would be a good idea.

Good improvements. :)

yes when you try to rotate in multimedia screen it works great you wont see no flickering (white selected button) Edit: I just found out that you dont have the pressed button in that screen :) that why it doesnt flicker but in the main screen where you have the pressed buttons when you rotate, it flicker selecting the button where your stylos or finger is pointing to.

when you slide, it shouldnt select the button, I think you need to have to options in your script slide and press, when you slide it should ignore the pressed buttons, when you press then it should activate the pressed buttons.

Yes, just like the original HTC Cube.

It's not a flicker, the button changes to the selected button when you are pushing on it. The only problem with what you are suggesting is detecting if it's a click or a slide before updating the screen. Unless you just want it to show the white button after you let go of the screen. That would be easy to do.

To tell you the truth, I kind of like the way it is right now because when I slide my finger I know that its going to go to the other page rather than guessing whether its going to slide or accidently pressed the button there is...Good Job Baffles, anxiously waiting for the next step...trying the real button to work..
