Perhaps it's possible to do something with pure edje modules. I remember I saw someone proposing this already. But doing this kind of work would require giving much more information to edje and the ability to manipulate it (Information from E itself, but also from other apps or from the net). And if we go that route we need to do it safely and efficiently. I remember reading something regarding this kind of issue but for KDE Plasma, where they did introduce the idea of information producer and information consumer. Or something like that. Anyway, it's a huge amount of work to do. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
