Hi to all, for a prototype I have in mind, I wonder if all features I need are already available in Pivot 2 (trunk):
I imagine the GUI organized in Layers (like in the StackLayout) but where here I would be able to dynamically change attributes of layers, like in a CAD application, or better in an image editing program. For example I could put some elements in the first layer, like a top menu bar by default visible, but when a timeout occurs, that layer could vanish (with some effect like slide or fade or other). And more complex, I could have other elements in other layers (some on, some off), but for example I want to position elements of layer 2 exactly at the bottom of layer 1 end ... sorry, I hope to be clear. So I'd need some api (or styling infos) to get position, extents, flags, effects, etc on any layer ... And last, I could mix layers using other effects like in image editing: blend, colorize, filters, etc ... also block input to a layer (??). This could help us to create much more visually complex Applications. I agree that all this is complex to do and probably more graphic-oriented than usual Pivot applications, but one step a time could help going in this direction ... What do you think ? A custom layout could be enough or a container (and related classes) should be created ? And, more important, is interesting also to others than me ?
