It is much more complex than that and it doesn't concern pages but display
objects ...
Anyway I will add to your example so that it is closer to what I need, each
"page" also has a couple of functions defined by default and these one can
also be changed by the user. Let's take your page a as an example:
Page A
Background color: red
Music: techno
UDF1: DisplayThumbnail
UDF1_param: ArtistName
UDF2: Playsong
UDF2_param: SongName
As a user I can choose to replace DisplayThumbnail by DisplayResume or
PlaySong by PlayVideo and UDF2_param by ClipName, and save it to my
preferences.
DO you have a better idea of what I mean ??
Thanks
Dominique

So wait a minute - you mean your data structure looks like this - kinda:
Preferences
Page A
background color: red
music: techno
Page B
coolness factor: high
hipness factor: can't walk through doors
If so - why not simply store the preferences in a structure? How exactly
are you using the dynamic UDFs?
