I have been planning and may have time to start codeing soon a UI library.
I have a question about the exact nature of the archetecture I am going to
use. The UI is going to display in text and graphicaly on the consol, X
and in a browser ie netscape. Oh and Berlin too. There is either going to
be an accompining "window manager" or it will be integrated into the
library. So my choices as I see it are.
- Target other library sets such as OpenAmulet and wxWindows. Posibly
even mixing tool kits within the same application
OR consentrate on using ggi and make whole new widgits.
- The library is going to focus on dynamic UI's as well as skinable
interfaces even if I don't integrate the window manager the
applications will be able to manage them selves so should I just make
it part of the same library?
- leave controll of the user interface with the application or break it
off and make it part of an interface server which would contain the
window manager functionality as well.
The end result is going to be somewhere between an XML viewer, MS's Active
desktop, SWING or Pythons DynWin, Zope and enightenment :) Sort of a
portable desktop that is dynamic and flexable.
