Hi, well, you seem to have already committed this 'sexytile'... and dpbrowser uses it and I don't understand what's its purpose? what does it do ? apart from a user reporting his amsn is broken because 'can't find package sexytile', I didn't see any difference... Can you please explain it more ? and send the screeny if you can, as I have difficulties understand without any visual thing (or pseudocode). I also don't understand why 'yet another snit widget' is being created here for something like that, I think there are other places apart from the dpbrowser where some 'funky stuff' or optimization could be done...
