Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
This release is part of the 1.3 development branch, so it's all
about crazy experimentations and not about providing a polished,
well-tested product -- so don't quite replace your 1.2 Guikachu
just yet.
New in this version:
Text positioning fixes
Support for graphical buttons and other widgets
Now you can use the same ID for different widgets if they are
in different Forms
New (Czech) and updated translations
Documentation updates
Guikachu uses GTKmm and GNOMEmm for its user interface. I/O is
implemented via GNOME-VFS, the XML storage format is managed with
the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via libglade. GConf
is used to store user preferences. You will need the versions of
these packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the
exception of GNOMEmm which you will need to upgrade to the recently
released version 1.2.4). The ImageMagick library is used for
managing bitmap resources. To actually create the PalmOS resource
files, you will also need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to
compile the .rpc files produced by Guikachu.
