it is trivial at this point but we might as well get used to doing it
this way, just as a good practice. the experimental.wikiname part is the
most important part IMO.

Technically Window would be lightweight in that scenario to, its kinda
impossible to have a traditional heavyweight component the way were
doing it. But I meant the Window should be the only one that interfaces
to the screen since everything else either has to go into it
(Components, Container...) or descends from it (Frame).

can I have the URL again?
