> onedimensional: I don't understand the concept. Could you elaborate? Look at widgets.lib.scrollbar thumb[dim], thumb[pos], thumb[mousepos] etc... much easier than writing a billion if ( orient == ) statements. One of two of the other widgets use it too. > selection_mux: Needs a new name Agreed. I can't think of one though. Can you? Perhaps: exclusive // doesn't manifest the 'selection' side of things exclusiveselection // too long exclusiveselect // still too long selectmux // nicer that selection_mux but still not perfect > repeatable: This seems to belong in xwt.theme.util to me You obviously dunno much about it. :) Clickable uses it (to do the repeat clicks) among other things. It's simple and useful. > redirect: Looking more like a xwt.theme.util then a behavior to me Again, it's a proven, useful abstraction. Things like button want text, textcolor, and font to go straight to the point. redirect = $container; <- everything goes to container. rd["text"] = $container; // poor example showing redirecting rd["font"] = $somethingelse; // properties to different places > I can see an argument for its own space in xwt.theme.<behavior>, but I > don't know if I agree with it yet. To me, it just seems like a lot more > importing. The importing is done by the core widget set, so it's not really an issue. _______________________________________________ http://lists.xwt.org/listinfo/dev
