Aaaaaah well adding a new tool is relatively easy in the code... if you're willing to patch it. 3 new edje groups (1 for tool icon, 1 for the draw content and an optional shadow group which you can have empty if there is no shadow). 1 line to add the new tool to the tool grid. but the problem is these take more space and so the window grows vertically with every ew row of tools. I've called it quits on adding more rows because of this. To do more like you want, I'd have to make something far more elaborate probably lists the contents of a directory looking for edj files with the above groups and some metadata in them, some scrolled list to select them etc. and I'd kind of called it a stop to adding more to shot at this point. I think I've taken it quite a long way and I do not want it to become a bottomless pit of "more features". :) So I've drawn the line already on adding new tools with the existing infra. doing more now will involve something far more involved. I could look into making the tool box/grid scrollable, but then still you'd have to patch code to add things in. I'd have to write code to do the "hunt for extra tool data" like above but... I kind of thing I've taken it far enough. I think it's time maybe for patches? :) Mostly because I think that people other than me should be able to add things to E they want, and this is a good point to do it... :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
