As I said, these stackable windows could be implemented in the toolkit side using ConfigureRequests (the WM respects those, unlike in Fremantle). What comes to the sliding window animations, those will be supported in Harmattan at least (possibly a window property points to a pixmap that is used for the animation). The input method seems the biggest obstacle, and that could require some adapter for GTK+ applications, I don't know. -Kimmo > Also, some widgets are designed specifically for the N900, and while > they may work and have a reasonable API they should probably be > redesigned/modified to be more general. > > Berto > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
