Crate nifty_macos 

AppKit backend: every Nifty widget is a real NSView subclass from the system.

Modules

areas 🔒

Areas that cover a stack without drawing anything, such as a context menu’s or a drop target’s: hidden views among a host’s subviews, found by where they are.

classes 🔒

Objective-C classes Nifty registers to receive AppKit callbacks.

context_menu 🔒

Context menus: a hidden view that marks the area a stack’s menu covers, and the lookup the views widgets sit in use to find the menu under a right-click. A right-click that no control takes passes up the responder chain to those views.

convert 🔒

dialog 🔒

File dialogs: NSOpenPanel and NSSavePanel, as a sheet on the key window, or a window of their own when none of the app’s windows is key.

drop 🔒

Drop targets: a hidden view that marks the area a stack’s drop target covers, and the dragging-destination work of the views widgets sit in, which take files and links once one of their stacks has a drop target.

icons 🔒

Nifty’s icons as SF Symbols, which come with macOS, so apps bundle no images.

menus 🔒

The app’s menu bar: the app menu and the Edit menu AppKit apps have, and the app’s own menus, the first before Edit and the rest after it, as File comes before Edit.

nav_item 🔒

A sidebar row the way Finder draws one: an accent-colored symbol and a title, with a quieter badge such as a count at the end, on a rounded highlight that shows the row is selected, pressed or under the pointer.

switch 🔒

A switch with its title, laid out as System Settings does: the title at the start of the row, and the switch at its end.

waker 🔒

Waking the main thread from others, through the main dispatch queue the run loop drains.

widgets 🔒

The native control behind each Nifty widget, and the objects that report its events.

Functions

add_to 🔒

host_view 🔒

The view widgets created in parent sit in.

inset_under_title_bar 🔒

How much of content the title bar covers: the part outside the window’s layout rect.
