I really don't understand the design decision on > this, any pointers? Create the text part from Lua. manipulate it from Lua. The example lua edje in the source exercises most of the edje Lua stuff. I used the edje Lua stuff in a commercial product I was developing at the time, so it's not useless. The general idea is to entirely create and manipulate edje and evas objects in the Lua edje script. There's definitely enough to do a simple text clock completely in Lua edje. Even enough to do a fancy analog clock. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
