Hi Everybody, After chatting with Stefan on #fresco (and having more chances to feel inferior to Fresco..) about layout engines, I thought I should bring up the topic here. I like the simplicity of picogui's divtree for widget layout. With a little tweaking it should be able to handle whatever apps need, and it results in a tree that's very easy to render and traverse. But what about alternatives? A constraint solver would be nice, and a good step in the direction of UIs that can be defined very abstractly. -- Only you can prevent creeping featurism! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!
