NEW POST: What do you think of the Devscribe WPF application style?

GeoffCox — Sun, 24 May 2009 04:34:01 GMT

Although the green/white glass style and lightning animations are cool, I'll save them for a bigger application. In version 2, I decided to simplify the look and feel and drop out the animation.

NEW POST: 2.0.0.0 version

GeoffCox — Sun, 24 May 2009 04:31:43 GMT

2.0.0.0 is released (whew!). This represents about 7 months of after-work and weekends to make the build pipeline much better, revamp the UI, and incorporate full logging.

Redesigned tool UI
Major infrastructure improvements to the build pipeline
Improved handling of ref and constructor documentation
Improved HTML formatted output.
Logging in both the console and WPF applications
Stronger error handling with diagnostics
Ability to load assemblies referenced across directory trees.
Choice to excluce "System." assemblies.

Enjoy!

EDITED ISSUE: Workaround: Devscribe throws an exception if you choose not to include referenced assemblies and pick a mixed or supporting target.

GeoffCox — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:20:19 GMT

Workaround: Choose the primary target (as without referenced assemblies there will not be supporting documentation)
Workaround 2: Create the Supporting folder structure manually.

Note: Only happens on a first run where the supporting folder structure does not exist.

To be fixed with 1.3.0.1.

NEW POST: What do you think of the Devscribe WPF application style?

GeoffCox — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:12:47 GMT

The Devscribe WPF application uses a custom build style that combines a white glass effect for controls over a dark background. Additionally, the main window and progress use a lightning/wave graphic style.

What do you think of inverted colors (light text, dark background)? The Expression tools have gone this way and I'm curious if people like that look.

Do you like that the text boxes invert back to black on white during editing?

Does the animation feel too heavy for a small tool? (Note the perf profile shows it has almost no impact on the writing of files because the process is disk I/O bound).

CREATED ISSUE: Devscribe throws an exception if you choose not to include referenced assemblies and pick a mixed or supporting target.
