Hi, >From the list of alternatives http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBar#HImplementationConsiderations
Var 2 and Var 4 have the greatest potential. Var 1: The only interesting aspect is the ability to reuse the Panel Wizard's Drag&Drop ability in order to customize your AppBar. But if we would go with Var 2 we could create a dedicated UI to customize the AppBar. Var 2: This means a new class used only by the Flamingo skin. Application Developer should offer a page containing an object of this type with their wanted look for the AppBar. Being a new class we could decide what properties we add (taking into consideration maybe rights, favorite aspects, etc.) Var 3: Considering UIX discussions, an UIXP is not the best decision IMO for this problem, a class is better suited. Var 4: seems interesting from a reusability point of view. The thing is that there are not that many instances of AddApplicationUIX extensions and also in the mail about UIXP the conclusion was that it was better to use classes. Reusing this extension is complicated also because it doesn't provide all the information needed by the AppBar (32px icon, etc.) ----- I prefer Var 4. It would be nice to hear also other opinions. Guillaume maybe you could make a proposal for the ApplicationBarEntryClass properties and types.
