Is there any UI library that can be to build both a text user interface (ncurses) and graphical user interface (GTK? QT?) from the same source? I know that debconf can be used with various frontends, I would like to build something similar but programmable. ...
I have gotten to know my way around a few programming languages, and I'd like to try my hand at making a command-line text editor -- something that runs in the terminal, like vim/emacs/nano, but is pure text (no guis, please). Preferably, I'd like to do this in python. Where do I start? Are there any (python) libraries to do command-line...
I want to build simple console applications, but want something like QT and not like ncurses. Is there such a thing or is it only my dream UI? ...
I want to build an application with a text based UI that is similar to the Linux command 'top', in Ruby. What toolkits and/or techniques can I use to build the UI? In particular I want an area of the console window that is constantly updating, and the ability to press keys to manipulate the display. ...
I need to implement a console application (possibly in Java) with ncurses-like functionality (such as navigating a menu and redrawing the whole screen). The only solutions that I can find to do this so far are CHARVA ("A Java Windowing Toolkit for Text Terminals"), tuipeer ("A Text User Interface for the Java AWT" and a really old Dr. Do...
Is there a good book or other references on Text User Interface Design? I am not interested in graphical user interfaces. I am interested in usability for good command line and scripting interfaces. ...
Where can I find resources related to the design and development of text-based user interfaces (e.g. interfaces exported via serial port from embedded devices to VT100 terminals)? I am interested in any material available - best practices, style guides, frameworks, etc. Note that I am asking about resources related to the design and de...
I am using newt/snack (a TUI graphical Widgit library for Python based on slang) to have some interactive scripts. However for some target terminals the output of those screens are not very nice. I can change the look of them by changing the $TERM variable to remove non printable characters, and to convert them to something more suitable...
I'm interested in doing rapid app development in Python. Since this is mainly for prototyping purposes, I'm looking for a way of creating "rough" user interfaces. By this, I mean that they don't have to look professional, they just have to be flexible enough to make it look the way I want. Originally I was going to do this by creating a ...
