Suggested FLTK demo programs:
- maybe fluid ?

Hi all,
I just committed a new FLTK scheme called "oxy". This scheme uses decent gradients in boxes and has its own arrow style. This scheme is experimental, so be aware that it can still change and that there can be drawing glitches etc.

Great! I'll give it a spin with my own apps when I do a git update.
Is this Dmitri's old submission from like a decade ago?
(checks STRs) Wow, yeah, from 2011.. STR #2675 and #3477.
Looks like you've (Albrecht) have been pushing on this for a while,
glad to see it's coming through -- scheme options are nice to have.
Hi all,
I just committed a new FLTK scheme called "oxy". This scheme uses decent
gradients in boxes and has its own arrow style. This scheme is
experimental, so be aware that it can still change and that there can be
drawing glitches etc.
……
Known issues (will be fixed later):
(1) "oxy arrows" (in scrollbars, menu buttons, counters, etc.) are not
yet drawn correctly on all platforms, particularly on Linux
(2) scaling with ctrl/+/-/0 (cmd/+/-/0 on macOS) does not yet work well
(see (1))
The cxxflags now outputs "-I../libdecor/src", a relative path which breaks my build with a local fltk install. Not to mention there's a lot of duplicate include entries. Did something break when "oxy" was added to the latest git?

In all honesty, I like the appearance of this new scheme except for one aspect. The problem for me is the gradient in menu lists. To my brain, the gradient tends to communicate something about the items that is not intended. Namely, the items at the top, located in a lighted field, are in some mysterious way preferred to those at the bottom, located in a darkened field. It's just something psychological for me, I suppose. But that was my immediate reaction when I ran test/menubar with ocy.
Be it far from me to imply any lack of appreciation for this new scheme, but is it possible to have some sort of option to utilize the scheme with the exception of the gradient in the menu lists?

What I see (and don't like personally) with the gleam scheme is the left side menu (an Fl_Browser) that has a dark gradient at the top and bottom. I never liked this.
The oxy scheme is IMHO much better. The left side "menu" (Fl_Browser) doesn't show any gradient. I imagine we could use this in menu windows as well, but I didn't investigate this further yet. I don't know if this is doable, but it's maybe worth a check.
What do you think, would this be better?
Yes you are so right about the gleam scheme. When examining the left side menu / browser as you suggested, I get a negative reaction for the same basic reason.
But even further, in terms of all the widgets appearing in the "Scheme Test" demo , I definitely prefer the oxy scheme over the gleam scheme! So yes, I do think the oxy scheme is a big advance over the gleam scheme. To me, the oxy scheme looks more "professional", ...
FWIW, perhaps the issue with the gleam scheme browser (or menu list) could also be resolved by special treatment to improve it specifically.
But even in that case, I personally would still choose the oxy scheme over the gleam scheme.

Again I agree. It's my personally preferred scheme, particularly because the gradients look like "natural light effects".
