Tiger widgets have become popular, and there's a lot of them. They're just html, javascript and a special javascript object that allows the javascript to access certain environment settings and controls.
I'm wondering if a similar kind of thing would be useful for maemo. So, perhaps locally loaded ".htmg" files could be launched within the browser, but they could: a) get access to dbus b) run in a non-full screen windows, like 1. a task area indicator 2. a tray indicator or symbol c) be able to run w/o a window (just javascript, perhaps getting access to note_infoprint or note_dialog d) use svg-tiny and other stuff e) the browser component itself and "widgets" should be embeddable in other applications So, this would give us simple, low overhead non-C development for the masses. Is this kind of thing already planned, possible, impossible? -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com AOL-IM or SKYPE: BKClements We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice. - Richard Henry Dana, Jr. 1836 _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
