Er, that's a table, evas supports tables, edje supports tables, elementary supports tables. Pffft Have you all vanished up your "we do things differently" arseholes so far that none of you recognised a plain old ordinary table? No disrespect intended. B-) BTW, tables are used on phones. It's not something that is old fashioned and people are moving away from. Tables have their good uses. Try doing a spreadsheet without one. Some popular file browsers use tables by default to. E17 uses tables. Nooow, as for Elementary not really being a desktop widget set, I though it's job was to support desktops as well as everything else? To be the widget set to end all widget sets so that EFL no longer had two different widget sets? To be as usable on the desktop as it is on mobile phones and such? So that you only need to write one app for all? Do we need to write a desktop widget set now? And what about the plans to use elementary as the widget set for E18? Um, e18 is a desktop thingy. B-) -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
