Well that was comforting. Back to the source code. After a few exchanges with the existing maintainer I focused more on a certain piece of code and delved into Cairo and Carbon to see what I should be doing. The C# P/Invoke call didn't work--so I decided to try to put the scale to properly invert the image in C code that was P/Invoked later than where I had been messing around. Well that worked, but the controls were all on the lower left corner. So I looked up through the Carbon API, looking at the Translation function. I remembered that piece of C# code that didn't seem to P/Invoke correctly, so I took that out and moved it back to where I previously put the scale. That kind of worked:
Where'd the background go? I looked at the translation code again and apparently the translation code works well for all the subviews, except the window. So I wrote a dirty hack to detect the window size and guess if it's the window. It's a very dirty hack and I intend to clean it up and find a proper way because if you have, for example, a button that is exactly the same size as that window, it won't be drawn properly. I'm currently researching that and how to keep track of children views so things would render better.
That's all for today. As always, we need more people working on this! If interested, please contact me and I'll provide the patches to work with.
