Hi, The layoutmanager i have made currently supports layers to be placed and hold position to eatchother either verticaly or horisontal with x space between them. So far the layers X and Y positions are not locked so you can get a diagonal placement of the layers. This will be fixed before cvs upload. You will be able to set the spacing between them, remove and add more layers to the manager.
Any more idees is very well apreciated but what i have seen right now the groupmanager will be left alone as i cant see the usefullnes with adding this functionality to that one, and as stated under here, the focusmanager deals with z-index. So i think more "uniteractive" events and stuff should be in this one. Things that is more static like menues and windows and sutch, but can change size.
