Better Carbon/Cocoa integration in Jaguar?

Posted:

Omni Group has had a hard time getting Carbon apps - particularly QT - to cooperate with OmniWeb.



Steve just demonstrated QuickTime playing in a Mail.app window. Mail is Cocoa.



I think we'll see much better QT and Java (which is also Carbon) support in Cocoa apps with the release of Jaguar. It's mostly an under-the-hood change, but one which OmniWeb users should welcome.

    Aren't the two tied together in the CoreFoundation Framework?



    Anyway, my understanding is that things like standard toolbars are in the Carbon Framework, and that the color and fonts panels from the Cocoa framework are integrated into Carbon apps (at least the Finder). So it sounds like they really are getting the two frameworks to play together nicely, and are almost on par in terms of UI features anyway.

    I'm very pleasantly surprised with the seamlessness of iTunes 3 (carbon) with the cocoa iPhoto.



    They're identical. iTunes now changes its colors properly, live resizes, and looks smart.



    Big props to Apple on this one. Clear that they're getting their s... together and making their software not suck.



    Too bad they had to sour an otherwise great show with the demise of mac.com email for most of the public.

    Interesting: doesn't live resize when visualising (man).
