AntiRight
AntiRight provides gtkshell, an interface for scripting a GUI. Around this interface, applications can be defined at the command line. This allows rapid application development, leaving the developer to focus on core application logic. Also included are ACE, a sample desktop implementation, and gshterm, a vte-based terminal emulator with transparency, anti-aliased fonts, and xterm-compatible command specification.

Changes: This release features undo capabilities for the text editor widget, the addition of improved icons for the ACE Deskbar, a file management panel that is more useful than the iconic file manager, code to verify the presence of new configuration keys introduced as ACE evolves, icon-only toolbars for gtkshell app-mode, a simple calculator (interface to bc), fixed text editor scrolling, an initial xshell-based panel, left alignment of menu labels, and icons for each Deskbar menu item.

Changes: gtkshell now builds on Cygwin. The style 3 deskbar menu has been updated according to freedesktop.org guidelines. boehm-gc garbage collection is used if available. VTE presence is determined at configure time, and gtkshell can be built without it, but with reduced functionality. The IDE terminal areas are now resizable. A text editor has been added. An application mode has been added. Special passed commands are now used to allow for callback specification. A clock applet has been added to reduce fork overhead for the desk bar.

AntiRight Rearchitecturing
AntiRight has undergone a major rearchitecturing. The new architecture is that of a scriptable desktop environment. The environment is implemented using a configuration architecture, known as ACE. This consists of ACE, the script which implements the executable functions on the scripted side of the environment, system.antiright, which is the configuration file in which all AntiRight actions are defined, and arconfig, whichis the means by which the user can modify such definitions. The GUI of the environment, which can be said to be a form of shell bindings to motif, is arshell. The only utilities that remain in their C incarnations are antifile, xmtextedit, arcd, and arcolor. arcd is just the command line interface to the CD ioctls now. Its user interface is implemented in ACE. arcolor provides a superior color selection mechanism than that currently possible with an arshell UI, so it remains currently. The color selection code may be moved into the library as a widget once scale globals are removed. The text editor and file manager may be replaced by scripted versions in the future.
