Whats the directions to implement this? see my other email. what you WANT is just to place evas objects in arbitrary locations. for things like a clock its just a .edj file and nothing more. if it MUST be a gadcon + gadget then you need a new layout smart object in gadcon with a different layout policy, and code to put one on the desktop. :) > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > -------------------------------------- > Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ICQ#: 17249123 > Skype: gsbarbieri > Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
