The Widgetmakers' Frankenwidgets

Partly out of necessity, partly out of interest and habit, and partly in the name of science, I've spent a considerable part of the past two or so years building widgets. Examples of applications containing a plethora of such widgets are shown below:

FileShell - An experimental, (attempted) cross-platform file browser, built as a test bed for a number of things I've been developing for my research work (and also to host a few features I've personally wanted to see in a file browser). Nearly every single widget shown here has had some amount of bashing applied to it. Toolkit: Qt / PyQt.

G6 Feedback - There are number of widgets on display here, notably the "EditableLabel" (when you hover over a textual label that is currently acting as a placeholder, a box will be drawn around it while you hover, and it will be replaced with a textbox where you can actually change the text when you click on it - e.g. "Click to set question"), and time-selector combobox (for either selecting a preset time, or manually specifying in terms of the units you care about). Plus, the fact that all of this was done in an antiquated toolkit meant that everything needed an extra level of polish on it.  Toolkit: Java Swing (Nimbus theme)

Raking in the dough!

G6 Feedback

After a year of work, it's time to present G6 Feedback, an "Audience Response System". Written in Java (this was a requirement, not a free/willing choice), this system allows you to create and run polls, and have participants answer these polls using their laptops or Android smartphones.
