There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good and I think the change is very welcome!
One small thing: I wonder if editor icons from the default theme can be used. I just spotted this icon previewer addon and does this to fetch editor icons: https://github.com/Xrayez/godot-editor-icons-previewer/blob/gd3/addons/editor_icon_previewer/editor_icon_previewer.gd#L51-L59
Oh, that's a good idea. I'll see if something is in there. Certainly drawing icons is not something I should normally be doing. |
When all the categories are shown, you may need to do quite a bit of scrolling to find the block you want or just to discover what's there. This changes the category display so that each category is a button that can show or hide its blocks. All blocks are initially hidden to be able to see all the available categories. The expander is implemented as a flat button with a icon. Godot does provide the Tree class with similar functionality, but it's a bit complex to use. More importantly TreeItems are their own class that don't derive from Node. That would break the current Block usage. The Tree arrow icons are reused, though. To give a little more indication that the category can be expanded, the color is lightened relative to the expanded state. https://phabricator.endlessm.com/T35507

The expander is implemented as a flat button with a triangle icon. The icon comes from an atlas with two states corresponded to expanded or unexpanded. Godot does provide the Tree class with similar functionality, but it's a bit complex to use. More importantly TreeItems are their own class that don't derive from Node. That would break the current Block usage.
The SVG with the triangle drawings is included should any editing be needed, but it's not used in the scene.
