With a bit of JS those can be manipulated in arbitrary ways, but note that any such manipulation might interfere with the canvas parts (the arrows and lines, which themselves are drawn onto an HTML Canvas by JavaScript). > i _think_ the JS code and the C code are a bit intertwined/co-dependent > there, but i'll have to take a look at that before i can answer > definitively.

The routine which draws most of the visible parts of the /timeline page, for example, is over 300 lines long, and it's supported by several hundred more lines of code. Any sort of non-trivial change here would be... well, non-trivial. There is another solution, however, _if_ you're up for a bit of JavaScript programming. Here's an example/proof-of-concept which uses the JSON API and a custom HTML/CSS/JSS front-end to create custom timelines: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/fwiki/editor/fijet-scratchpad.html If that might be an option for you, let me know and i can go into more detail. (It could be integrated into the core UI, but that would be a bit hackish... oh, but that gives me another idea to try out later.) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Since tyranny's the only guaranteed byproduct of those who insist on a perfect world, freedom will have to do." -- Bigby Wolf
