It really depends on what you want in the end. Having a gadget in the shelf which allows to start the screen configure dialog is good. This obviously would allow to start polling the information once the user hinted to start the configuration. Something I personally would like to see _long-term_ would be a small notification when a _unknown_ monitor is _attached_. This is only possible with polling all the time. Two different scenarios. For known and attached monitors I would go with the last saved configuration for the monitor. If none is found, again small notification. Anyway, thats all long term and we need to sort out the basic issues first. All material for incremental updates from a working version. Intrusive notifications are also a personal pet idea. ;) regards Stefan Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA® Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
