   git clone https://github.com/inohime/Anya.git
   

2. vcpkg

   git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
   cd vcpkg
   ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
   ./vcpkg integrate install
   

3. CMake

4. Unpack assets.rar into build/Debug

Application State

currently in development

anya's Issues

Calendar button active behind first layer

The calendar button can be clicked through the main layer, set button to inactive until the next layer is shown.

Set background image

Give the user an option to set the clip of the image to show or just downscale the entire image to fit the window resolution.

• get user input for this idea.

Text centering

Currently, the time text is not properly centered.

Optimization #1

• Reuse buttons where necessary

Color Feature

User Interface ColorState: set and load colour states for elements

• • default colour state
• • hover colour state
• • pressed colour state

Util print

replace the current implementation of println(T, U..) with one that uses std::format for easier multi-line printing of all literal types.

Fix SetBG button

Set Background button activates on Theme button press. Add check.

Set Background Color RGB input adds duplicate last number to string

rgbVal string ends up having a duplicate last number (if last number is 0, it will add another 0 -> 00). it should not append any text to the string, only output to red/green/blue values.

Change Button Colours through UI

At the moment, the colour state can only be changed within code. For users that run the application, give them the option to change the button colours (text, outline, bg) through the user interface.

DRY principle implementation

Replace ~90% of the cursorInBounds calls with layers to remove redundancy.

Prep for adding build files

• Add submodules

switch case replacement for button id if statement.

refactor the application so we can use constexpr button ids in switch case (possible friend injection counter?).

Return button functionality

Return button has no functionality currently.

• Return back to previous page
• Not conflict with other buttons (layering)
• Return functionality to other buttons (state change)

Configuration Feature

• Configuration: save and load theme data from file.
• • config file built if none exists.

All below is saved in theme data

• Set layout mode: position buttons to where the user wants.
• Themes: set button colours, premade themes, time font, backgrounds.

Add Stay on Top feature

Date Feature

Add the option to show the date on the main screen.

Polishing

When all features are finished and the application design is finalized, the app will get a rewrite.
The rewrite includes:

1. Optimization (squash 99.9% of bugs, reuse code where applicable, lower CPU usage to 0.5% max)
2. Text will be rasterized in a photo editor and used as textures for a more clean look.
3. Geometry (rectangles not included) will be textures instead of math
4. Images will be loaded on a per layer basis to reduce memory usage

Cursor not deselecting outside of window

When the cursor hovers over a button within the window and immediately exits, it will not deselect the button. This makes the button still clickable out of bounds.

Application Editor

• Add an editor built in for positioning buttons on each layer.
• Add drag-select for buttons on a layer.
• Add editor debug mode to print out the position and width of either the selected button or drag-selected buttons on the layer.
  1. Save the selected buttons on a layer in this format:
     • Layer: name
     • Buttons:
       • button name:
         • x, y, width, height
         • background colour, outline colour, text colour
  2. File name: name - date

Set Background Colour Option

Should take in input to change background colour to the user's choice.

• Hex to RGB input
• RGB only input

One of the two options is preferable.

No text input on typography button

When typing in setBGColorBtn, the typography button will not take any input. However, when openFileBtn is pressed afterwards, it'll work again.
