Hi Berry, You understand correctly, that's the intended way of composing.
I have not thought seriously about themability but it should be possible through the use of shared CSS (elm-css). The CounterList example shows how the counters push data into the parents through events. Boxes can exist within boxes. AltMain shows this (it is a box that contains other boxes) Please add an issue about Safari in the repository. I'll investigate it when I get back to a computer (I'm on my mobile now). Thank you for the feedback! On Sat, 21 Jan 2017 at 16:34, Berry Groenendijk <berry.groenend...@doon.nu> wrote: > Hi Peter, > > If I understand correctly, a box is basically a mini-main.
