"al" (lets use that as a short name as i can only make out anything sensible from the email address... i'll have to call you "squiggles" otherwise :) - no - i dont read arabic :)) seems to want is doable via extensions (modules) to implement all the specific behaviour he wants. specific modules already implement similar kinds of behaviour - engage, comp-scale etc. what he wants is a unified thing i guess that does it all. great - go make it. :) the problem is you're trying to go the next level... which is "what id there are 50 designers all with awesome ideas - how do they package them up and give them to people". that's your shell thing. and as such all of these are in fact large blobs of logic (code) and so are not readily portable and shippable. the best that can be done is offer a module and then alongside a profile that enables it and configures it. the module cant sensibly ship with the profile because it is not "just data". :) so right now all of this is possible, but in 2 parts. make a module, then a profile to configure it. :) i know i don't have the time to do ui experiments myself. i'd rather not have some grand unified module here either but just specific features you can turn on and off provided by a range of modules, not a single one. so you can take and configure just one of the elements you like not not have to take the rest. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel - in partnership with Geeknet, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials, tech docs, whitepapers, evaluation guides, and opinion stories.
