GUI work

Just to update everyone, I'm currently working to iron out wrinkles in the GUI code for RB2. There are a bunch of niggling little things that are broken in translation, but I'm making progress.

Hi Carl, any chance of an ETA for the re-birth.
No pressure, I understand you have a lot on the go.

I've been dusting off a lot of old RB1 code in advance of RB2 release. The old ugly "Database is loocked" error keeps showing up. Will be glad to get rid of that probelm. And some other errors that I think will be fixed in RB2.

RB2 looks exciting.

Hope for the best.

The first release will be an alpha release and it will be a little rough. Right now I am just working on getting a user interface for launching RB in a browser, getting the preference tab features working and also making the app publishing work. This should be out in a few weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

I wonder why gui interface needed. It increases unnecessary complexity to a normal user not having expert knowledge in computer science.
here are some important features required from my view point (as one of the users of runbasic and just basic)
1
it should work through command line ,gui interface , interface through browser should be optional.
2. should work on 32 and 64 bit environments
3. should be cross platform that is should wrk on arm devices like raspberry pi zero ,as well as linux and windows.
4. should be able get dimensions of monitor
5. support for https
6. able to change colours of widgets for example we cannot change colours of list box properly
7.sipport for timer
it should be better if runbasic people offer a service similar to serveo.net ,ngrok,pagekite etc for affordable price.
most of the runbasic users not experts in computers but they want to build some fantastic sites combining their knowledge in other areas with run basic. so hosting designing in run basic should not be a problem for a normal user.
one more thing if i use runbasic in cloud hosting there chances that runbasic software can be easily stolen and can be used with changed password by others.

I'm not quite sure I understand. First of all, the essential aspects of Run BASIC are not going to change. If there are new features, they will not replace the existing ones.

This is a web development tool. How would you support the use of command line? Getting the dimensions of the monitor is generally not related to web development. Changing widget colors is possible with CSS, unless you mean something else.

The cross platform nature of Run BASIC is part of the product and will continue.
