What about > paging? good words mickey. good words. :) (i have a todo item for the scrole rto have a page mode. it already has a page mode actually - but its a scrolling one much like iphone's N pages of icons - but it's infra to simple provide some theme elements that you press and they jump up/down/left/right a page and then do the jump - so it's mostly there. it just hasn't been any priority for me - am working on an oldie request to get rotatable objects.. which now works. under flux.. but works and renders... image and text objects so far are working. in theory all other basic object types too, but smart objects - not yet). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
