Upon browsing the Module source directory, I found the MojoX theme file /modules/mojox/assets/themes/default.json
Does MojoX use HTML and CSS? Or is it rendered as such? If so, what are the limitations of it’s rendering features like transitions, animations, and what not? I imagine having a full HTML5 & CSS3 compatible web renderer would consume a lot of memory. I can’t seem to find anything on litehtml if that’s related to MojoX or not besides the webview module. Documentation is a little sparse at the moment. xD
Otherwise, can anyone recommend a lightweight layout engine/web renderer for C++? I would like to try and implement an experimental monkey module for creating HTML & CSS rendered UI connected to monkey code for simplicity. I think it would be a great addition to MX2.
Also, I know Ted2 is far from finished, but any expected features to come soon?
Litehtml has layout engine only, not contains paint engine. So there is no css support.
About ted2 – you can find some planned features on my fork here https://github.com/engor/Ted2Go
What about official version – I don’t know.
Thank you for the info. I checked your Fork out and compiled it on Linux under GNOME 3.22. Keep it up! No issues I can see right off the bat.

I have idea about mojox – in views like TreeView delegate drawing command to child ‘item’ classes (Node in this case), and then we can easily override this for our custom nodes.
Also there is a way to make TreeView generic:
TreeView<T> where T extends TreeView.Node
So, custom nodes will draw themselves without changing TreeView.
