I tried the solution I suggested and it did not work because the child would occlude the parent (which is in the comments now that I see it.)
yeah minigui's model is to tile the widgets; they aren't supposed to overlap (except their parent, but then they cover the parent)
I decided to stick to simpledisplay strictly and forgo using the minigui library for the time being, and that is working well.
Yeah, nested widgets are something i sometimes use btu more often then not, i'll make the whole display for a thing - say a graph - just be a single widget and paint it in there.
A simpledisplay window's paint code can generally be pasted into a single minigui widget's paint code without much modification (the minigui WidgetPainter actually is a subclass of simpledisplay's ScreenPainter)
