Hi Mario I haven't thought too far with the "superwide TiddlyWiki" idea (I gather that is where you are heading)...hoping there is a more subtle way to do it.
With the superwide idea it would be simple to create a TiddlyWiki with a wide sideBar (the width of the data show) and a mainMenu and display that takes up the whole of the laptop window. I guess the mainMenu has navagation information, the main display has the tiddler that has the notes/information. The notes tiddler also have a bit of script that sets a config.option variable. Then Sidebar displays a tiddler using the config.option variable (can force refresh of the sideBar in PageTemplate). I guess I could even play around with two sidebars showing up on the datashow......(which I image is to the right...not sure why) The combinations are interesting...even wondering if it would be possible to input the laptop and datashow widths (different datashows have different resolution capabilities) on start up, and have a simple script reset the widths of the various components (mainmenu, display area, sidebar....). I do use something like this with a simple slideshow, where I have ImageSizePlugin (Eric) and use a config.option calculation to reset the size of the images in the Paulos SlideShowPlugin...depending on the resolution of the datashow. This question of datashow resolution is important to me......a number of times I have created a presentation for one resolution and then got stuck with a dtashow with a different resolution....so the whole thing gets re formated....generally only minutes before the presentation is due to start !!!!!! Anyway...any ideas are welcome.......and I keep hoping someone knows how to have two TWs "talk" to each other....could have interesting implications if it can be done.
