Sounds good. We DO need to have at least a working version for internet
explorer in order to 
present our project. But probably Alex is working on it...

I like the idea of theming because it gives a lot of choice to the user. I
also want to minimize my work concerning design. I really have such little
time that I want to use for the application logic only and leave the rest to
NW. I don't think that what we need requires a lot of code change. If there
is a way to add little icons to tree branches via CSS, why not. But it
should be done by NW not by extra code that we would have to add. Otherwise,
I could just take the PEAR::HTMLTree Class which does the job and send the
generated menu to a NW split pane window. I want to avoid that.

This seems like a great idea. It would work on any page loaded, not only the
main one, right? So even windows with external context could display a
"Loading..." message before the content is there. One could even add a
little animated GIF with a (fake) progress bar or a sand clock etc.
