Well I will see what I can do.
NOTE: Since Electron can use HTML, CSS, JS for it's code, I am probably able to learn how to use it! Brilliant!

JS, CSS and HTML are exactly what's currently used (other than for the ruby script that prepares the icon files and releases). I thought about using TypeScript but haven't bothered yet, it should be pretty easy to mix it with other components written in javascript so it should be easy to start using gradually for things that it makes easier. |

Alright, cool. I'll get to learning these languages, see what I can do. I want to ask, what are it's main internals programmed in? (for the code that does stuff and isn't for looks and such, what did you use? I assume JavaScript and HTML?) |

(for the code that does stuff and isn't for looks and such, what did you use? I assume JavaScript and HTML?) There is some static html, which is shown and hidden by javascript. But a lot of the visible elements are created dynamically by javascript. It's basically like the modern single page webapps that use javascript to control the visible elements (html), so if you know how those are made the launcher is basically that except it is wrapped in a native application that just shows that one page. renderer.js is the main file included in the webpage, it has all the setup and loads all the other used files. If you try to debug you should edit main.js to change the variable openDev to true to get the chrome developer tools. |
