This is good. Can I suggest to move all layout classes to the separate directory? I.e. layout/default.inc instead of layout_default.inc. > Currently the following files are used: > > class_layout_base.inc: description of base layout class > interface_definitions.inc: mapping of object functions to global functions. > > layout_default_class.inc: default layout using classes (might be splitted) > layout_plain_class.inc: plain layout using classes (might be splitted) I think the navigation methods may be (if possible of course) moved to separate elements. Like: layout/navigation/pager.inc layout/navigation/parent_list.inc layout/navigation/void.inc # does not exist in the new version layout/navigation/menus.inc # does not exist yet How about to separate the decoration methods too: layout/decor/window.inc # there is also the actual image/color theme layout/decor/border.inc # there is also the actual image/color theme layout/decor/void.inc This way, the current layout=default consists of navigation=pager and decor=window, layout=plain consists of navigation=parent_list (or void) and decor=void. This is just a working suggestion without all details. BTW, I think "layout" is not the best term for what it does. Maybe "skin", "view" or "look" (other names: "theme", "design", "looknfeel"). On the other subjects. Why do you set decoration windows to be 800 pixels tall - to always force a side scrollbar? An empty window taller than the page looks very bad. I think we are not going to return to the old pages, so I will remove all .html files soon. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
