Your welcome.

So, Piotr, have you produced a Rembrandt yet ? :black_joker: Be happy to test when you feel confident to let others see any warts remaining.

I only need to add fields to set vertical / horizontal window margin in the Controls module, and nwg-panel 0.3 will be ready to publish. Hopefully tonight. Some addition to the nwg-menu plugin I already have in mind may be done later.

nwg-panel 0.3.1 released

Includes settings for the MenuStart plugin.

BTW: it looks not bad on the light background, too:

By "strong points" @nwg is referring to the "Golden Mean" of the art world. Photographers (like me) refer to it as "Rule of Thirds". It all derives from Fibonacci's Squares. The focus of the human eye is automatically drawn to those four spots (might be proof of the existence of God) and anything placed in those four positions will stand out in an image. In portrait photography, the subject's closer eye is placed the upper right or upper left depending on which way they are facing.

Thanks for clarification. I was taught photography back in 80's, and only remember a little bit of Polish terminology. There's even an entry in Polish Wikipedia, but with no English counterpart.

Translation is the biggest problem in the world (not realy :wink: )

The right section: Golden section (Goldener Schnitt in german) in photography and graphic design

In photography, you can use the golden section as a tool to achieve a harmonious image composition. Since the central positioning of a motif is often perceived as static or uninteresting, this division is highly interesting for image design. The photograph is divided into nine fields with two horizontal and two vertical lines in the ratio of the golden section.

There is a big difference between ā€œgoldene Mitteā€ and ā€œgoldener Schnittā€ and ā€œgoldener Mittelwegā€

As always, a picture is worth a thousand words. :slight_smile:


And good that we talked about it :wink:
How could I have known over 50 years ago, when we learn English at school, that this could be important one day? :wink: :smiley: :slight_smile:
I also had to correct the previous sentence myself because the translator had distorted the meaning.

Sometimes I don’t recognize this and then people say I’m rude. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

LOL, when I was a schoolboy, they only taught us Russian and German. East German, of course. :wink: But what you both say applies not to my translation issue only.

Weird, I just did a clone for the project (nwg-panel)...let me try the AUR.
paru -Syu nwg-panel
Packages (1) nwg-panel-0.2.1-1

Am I stuck in some time warp ? :slight_smile:

Let me confess this: I installed the panel from AUR only once in my life. :slight_smile:

lol Your secret is safe with me. There's SO much to do/learn/experience, you can't do it all.
Let me try to get it from github in a different way.

Was able to get right version via using your link and downloading .tar.gz of it.

Very true. I plan on 2 more plugins.

Oh....oh...what now ? spill the beans..give ! :slight_smile:

Honestly: nwg-launchers got out of my control to some degree. I wrote it in C++, being a very beginner. Contributors improved the code, but it's simply too difficult to me at the moment - and I'm not going to learn more C. That's why I'm going to port nwggrid and nwgdmenu to golang, in order to use them as the latest plugin: integrated or standalone. I also have some nwg-menu code to reuse in the grid, to add some more fatures.

But but..that's how you learn, right ? :slight_smile:
I'm a C fiend, I'm so out of practice I couldn't write anything in C, but I honestly believe it's a superior environment to most (lol). Especially in the Unix world.
