And now we're going to need such an approach for the splash screen it would appear. Yes such a thing is possible. Yes, I'll concentrate on it. My list of things to do: * clean-up the graphics * move minibuffer behind the frontends firewall (I think that that will mean that the LyX core will then know nothing about the frontends at all) * introduce a controller-view split to the minibuffer. * help John with his "event-driven" rendering of the LyX screen. Now on the back burner since he's gone on LyX-holiday ;-) * clean up the controllers heirarchy so that more things are "has a" rather than "is a". * introduce a controller-view split to the remaining few dialogs derived from FromBaseDeprecated. * introduce my wrappers for xforms. I'll probably start with the minibuffer here since that is what I'm currently thinking about. Certainly the current xforms rubbish should be replaced by a combox... As you can see, most of this can be classified as code cleanup rather than new functionality. I'm quite happy to concentrate on the graphics stuff rather than choose another area. Most importantly: do some real work. How was the extended holiday? Angus
