It might be lack of sleep, but I can’t figure this out.

I have a Label, and I want its text to be red when it represents an error, and I want it be green when it represent “good to go”.

I found search result for C and maybe a solution for Python, but nothing for Rust.

I tried manually setting the css-classes property and running queue_draw(); it didn’t work.

I can have a gtk::Box or a Frame that I place where the Label should go, then declare two Labels, and use set_child() to switch between them, but that seems like an ugly solution.

Do you have a solution?

SOLVED:

I have to add a “.” before declaring a CSS “thing” for it to be considered a class.

Ex:

.overlay {
        background: rgba(60, 60, 60, 1);
        font-size: 25px;
}

instead of:

overlay {
        background: rgba(60, 60, 60, 1);
        font-size: 25px;)
}

Just use label.add_css_class(), label.remove_css_class() or label.set_css_classes() and make sure to properly load your CSS style sheets,

Use libcosmic 😑

No, but seriously… skip to the end.

Iced and Egui both can’t handle Arabic, which is a deal breaker.

Iced can handle Arabic shaping-wise when cosmic-text is used, but it can’t handle the direction (yet). If you only need it for the interface, a shit workaround would be to prefix all text with an RLM (RIGHT-TO-LEFT Mark). This would left-align all text of course.

Iced takes forever to compile and iterate, maybe that’ll be fixed with dynamic linking.

Fast iteration is already fixed by using cranelift in your release-dev profile (or whatever you want to call it), and mold as a linker. The binary will be slower, but iteration will be much much faster.


Okay, something helpful instead: Did you try asking in the rust:gnome.org matrix room mentioned in the project page?

Unfortunately no, I expect users to enter Arabic text as well.

Maybe, I didn’t try that before, but I don’t expect Cranelift to match the speeds gtk-rs is currently giving me; Cranelift also doesn’t solve the problem of rust-analyzer acting crazy.

No, I prefer public posts to prevent effort duplication, so much so that my mind started filtering out such things on project pages, but thanks for reminding me.
