Hi Reach... Some of the issues you raise are outside of the scope of SVG, so I'll comment on those. Perhaps others will chime in on the SVG-specific questions.
My solution would be to put the SVG inside an XHTML page, which can then be used in Opera, FireFox and our Sidewinder Viewer. Even better, use XForms, and keep the SVG in the XBL files--using Sidewinder (and I think, FireFox). Although I would suggest this architecture, even if you were just doing buttons, the main features you need that make this the best solution are kiosk mode and closing the form. > I need help with a quick proof of concept involving SVG.

SVG needs to > > - The SVG needs run in a kiosk/Full screen mode taking over > the complete desktop Our Sidewinder Viewer could do that, and so can Opera. In Sidewinder running in standalone mode you indicate the dimensions of your window in the meta tags of your XHTML document, with "*" meaning the entire width or height. In Opera you use command line options. (I'm guessing FireFox will have something too, but I don't know.) > - The screen has gradients need to be maintained I don't know what that means. If it's to do with the general appearance of your form in the screenshot then I'd SVG can easily do it. > - The SVG code needs to render/draw all the "curves" on the > corners and the shapes of the buttons. > - On mouse over the close button should display a "pressed" > look. In terms of SVG's capabilities this is of course possible. In terms of how to do it, you can either code it in SVG directly (or use one of the UI libraries), or re-skin some XForms with XBL. On the latter see the recent demo I posted that extends our Google Desktop Search sample with XBL. The buttons have the following features: * rounded buttons; * a filter with gradient fill; * an animation triggered on ::hover; * text colour changes triggered on mouse-click. Obviously you could invoke any changes to the SVG you like. > On clicked should close the web page I don't believe SVG supports this, but it's another reason for putting the SVG into XHTML, since you can use the HTML close method. Also, XForms 1.1 has a 'close' event, so you could do this declaratively in Sidewinder. > I have uploaded the screenshot in the files section. Looks pretty straightforward to me!
