Two words: Hell No. I could almost barf at the though of having a flash
animation on my desktop, not to mention JavaScript.
Going back to the original topic of this thread, right now I'm actually
leaning towards the use of enaa code to do dynamic backgrounds (actually
in general, special effects/dynamic animation and interaction). Enaa
seems to be perfect for that purpose. I still wouldn't use it to create
"themes" per se because I feel the barrier to creating themes would be too
high, but I like the idea of creating special fx eets that can be applied
to any object or group of objects in an evas application.
