Ring Slint released! — Build beautiful native apps with Ring and declarative UI

[Youssef Saeed]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to announce the release of Ring Slint — a powerful bridge that brings the Slint declarative GUI toolkit to the Ring programming language!

This library allows you to create stunning, native desktop and mobile applications with a clean separation between your declarative UI design (.slint) and your Ring application logic.

Showcase

Key Features

• High Performance — .slint UI interpreted at runtime with GPU-accelerated rendering
• Cross-Platform — Build for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Android from one codebase
• Declarative UI — Design interfaces using intuitive .slint markup language
• Two-Way Binding — Seamlessly connect Ring callbacks to Slint events
• Desktop Integration — File dialogs, notifications, clipboard, hotkeys, and system tray

Installation

Install via RingPM:

ringpm install ring-slint from ysdragon

Documentation & Examples

• GitHub Repository
• API Reference — Complete docs for all SlintApp methods
• Building and deploying on Android 
• Examples — We have included many practical examples in the repo to get you started.

Hello Youssef,

I'm so happy and excited with this new library!

I'll test all of the examples and let you know...

PS: You made me interested in Rust, so thanks!

Best,

Mansour

Hello Mansour,

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! I am looking forward to hearing your feedback after you test the examples.

That is great to hear about Rust as well—it is definitely a language worth exploring.

Best regards,
Youssef

Hello Youssed,

All samples in /samples/usingslint/ are working. Few of them present some anomalies.

Sample 16 : window is not movable ; colors areas click does nothing

Sample 17 : a message is needed to confirm the action on files happened correctly

Sample 18 : error when we click on Scale factor button

Sample 18 : error when we click on SetIcon

Sample 19 : when we click on button to make a notification with a custom icon, we do not the icon

Sample 19 : when we click on button With Icon we get a failure message

Sample 19 : not clear how to test this part and what to expect to be sure it worked

Sample 19 : when we click on button SetIcon, we get this error

Sample 19 : when we click on button SetToolTip, we get this error

That's it. And I'll check the other test files as well later on.

All the best,

Mansour

Hello Mansour,

Thank you for the report!

Please reinstall the package by running:

ringpm remove ring-slint

and then:

ringpm install ring-slint from ysdragon

> window is not movable
You should be able to move the window using the custom title area.

> colors areas click does nothing

This was originally a showcase demo, but I have updated the example to include real callbacks and clickable colors with feedback.

> Sample 17 : a message is needed to confirm the action on files happened correctly

Actually, there is a message/status box visible when you scroll down.

> Sample 18 : error when we click on Scale factor button

This was fixed in commit 0698f27. I have added typed methods to set values from Ring to Slint (the general set() method sometimes fails because it is too generic).

> Sample 19 : when we click on button to make a notification with a custom icon, we do not the icon

I will investigate this further for Windows, as I have tested it on Linux and it is working perfectly.

> Sample 19 : not clear how to test this part and what to expect to be sure it worked

Simply click "Register" and press Ctrl+Shift+H; you should then see a notification.

> Sample 19 : when we click on button SetToolTip, we get this error

This is fixed now.

Best regards,
Youssef
