Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++, and JavaScript. Find more information at https://slint-ui.com/ or go straight to github at https://github.com/slint-ui/slint

Library

• New Features or API
  • API to access globals ( 5f8cea )

    Global singletons in .60 markup can now be marked for export. New API in generated Rust and C++ code as well as the Rust/C++ interpreter allows accessing the properties and callbacks of such global singletons. This makes it easier to share data/callbacks between the UI design and the native code. Check out the online Rust docs or C++ docs for more information.

  • Contributed support for Emoji rendering to the upstream femtovg library, for use in SixtyFPS (PR #49)

    Emojis are PNG encoded bitmaps embedded in TrueType fonts, also called color fonts.

• Bug Fixes
  • Apply the default text color from the style for the color of Text and TextInput elements ( cdca92 )

    We apply a default window background from the palette to all Window elements, and likewise we need to apply the default text color to Text elements to ensure a readable contrast.

    This also fixes the default text color when using Qt/native style in dark mode on macOS.

  • Fix panic in the GL backend when text has complex bindings to sizes ( 88af44 )

    Avoid borrowing the rendering cache while evaluating property bindings.

    Fixes #410

  • Fix interpreter panics when calling callback that weren't set ( d5f4a7 )

Tools

• LSP: First implementation of semantic highlighting of tokens ( 11398c )

  Enable semantic highlighting in the LSP for the .60 language.
