Thanks for the example, i thought about leaving the tile out also, i just 
thought it would make the widgets easier to handle in the design view is all 
really, not for its actual functionality haha.

i really need to review the video and use of the command line thing you do, its 
all so fast.

thing is this interface is part of a larger project that takes a little while 
to build each time i import changed fluid header and source, as the header 
changes force other files to rebuild etc.

Do you build your interface seperately while designing it then integrate it 
into the target project afterwards?thus avoiding long rebuild times? Is that 
what you are doing in the video? i cant remember if you had a main() file in 
there or not, i cant look at it right now.
