[GCompris-devel] gcompris [Sailfish OS]

[Alex Smirnoff]

Hi.
Dialog is just a simple window. This should be no problem to implement it.
But respecting SailfishOS - in usual case it have only one window -
Application window.
Then it use Page concept. You just slide forward and back between several
pages.
That mean that in case of SailfishOS Dialog could  be implemented as Page.
But even it implemented as window (In case of games this also quite usual),
that better to slide to another page in any case if dialog content is
little bit more complex as simple yes/no buttons. Because that make it more
usable on target platform and less alien.

So
1. I agree that custom dialogs should be implemented for gcompris.
2. Dialog could or should have native implementation specific to target
platform. (Page sliding concept in case of Sailfish OS using native silica
library).
3. The same thin could be said regarding controls, especially buttons.
