Re: [hatari-devel] Hatari Mac GUI: Selecting IDE image

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/hatari-devel Archives ]


Hello

I’m trying to improve the Mac GUi, I have again a working build env, I’m trying to figure all the changes that was made since the last time. 
The GUI design part is almost done, need to bind the code now.

Very little time.
