As far as I know, there have been several attempts to solve this issue. For example, at the OOoCon 2010 I attended a presentation related to XML based UI declaration ... http://www.ooocon.org/index.php/ooocon/2010/paper/view/199 (see also the presentation download) Sun/Oracle also thought about that ... during my visit in Hamburg early 2010, we discussed how e.g. toolpanes might ideally behave - some improvements about what we have today. Here, "ideally" mainly refers to its technical behavior to detach/attach them anywhere. In this discussion, XML based UI stuff was mentioned as well. Here is the blog post - no technical relevance, but maybe interesting: http://uxopenofficeorg.blogspot.com/2010/01/ux-meeting-in-hamburg-day-two.html Cheers, Christoph PS: You may have noticed that my availability is a bit bad at the moment ... so sorry for not commenting the other threads at the moment "in time". -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
