About Compose

Compose is a text editor written in Java, specifically JavaFX. It serves as a text editor to help you keep your note-taking in check.

Highlights

Pleasant Theming

With color appeal on the rise, Compose came prepared with themes -- more are on the way!

Darc Theme

Light Theme

Fresh Theme

Configurable Settings

Easily change the text wrap, font, font size, and theme -- Compose auto-magically saves your settings for you to come back later.

Building the Source Code

1. If you don't already have it, download Git. It's a powerful source control tool, and is the same source control that Compose uses.

• You don't need to have Gradle installed to build Compose -- Gradle projects come with the build tool specialized for the project already.

2. Using Git, clone the Compose repository.

   git clone https://github.com/lucasstarsz/Compose.git

3. Once you've entered the top directory of the project (cd Compose), build the project using the gradlew file.

   • On Windows, you'll want to use the gradlew.bat file.
   • On Unix-based systems (macOS, Linux), you'll need to use the gradlew.sh file (after giving it proper execution permissions).

   ./gradlew build
