Zoom() takes up all Desktop area excluding the area occupied by Deskbar. This is calculated using information from the BDeskbar class. Window zooms just as you'd expect -- it takes up fullscreen minus area taken up by Deskbar. In vertical mode the zoom area depends on the width of Deskbar, consequently Zoom() is more space efficient in horizontal mode than vertical mode because the window doesn't use the area below Deskbar. If the zoom limits are smaller than the Desktop area, the zoom area shrinks towards the center of the Desktop not covered by Deskbar. This is slightly different behavior, the window insets off-center following Deskbar. In some scenarios zooming to the non-Deskbar area was too restrictive. I made an exception that if there is enough room above or below Deskbar i.e. a short window, then Zoom() instead insets from the screen edge ignoring Deskbar. Apps which meet this criteria include DriveSetup and Expander.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
