well, I refactored the old RenderingContext into more simple classes and with a lot less dependencies
my approach was also Decorating existing renderers but for Tomahawk, I did one generic Renderer for all components, based on reflection it just searches for any "Class' or 'StyleClass' ending properties in the component and if it finds them then it searches for their name in the defined selectors and sets the appropriate styleClasses into the component it is really important to have the skinning independent, because one that uses tomahawk, might not want to have trinidad dependencies and this module could be adapted to ANY component set but there's still a lot to refactor in that skinning code I still have some minor things to do that Martin Marinscheck suggested, just to be sure that it's compatible with everything and that in the near future Trinidad can use this too well unfortunately, I haven't done any serious documentation, because I was really in a hurry but I'm prepared to do it and afterwards discuss with you guys what to do next thanks for the replies Best regards, Cristi Toth ------------- Codebeat www.codebeat.ro On 8/1/07, Matthias Wessendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > right, > > also, do you've documentation already ? > > On 7/31/07, Simon Lessard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Cristi, > > > > It would sure be nice to have an independent common skinning module for > > custom component libraries.
