Re: [E-devel] epplets

Opps... forgot to reply to list:



Cool...  I was kinda hoping however (and thinking of getting started on
in a week or 2) was that epplets in e17 would be part of the desktop
evas, thus allowing for cool effects with translucency and that kind of
stuff.  but, now that i think of it...  it might be kind of annoying to
have ALL epplets be part of the desktop evas because they would always
be beneath all other windows.  maybe we could have it so you can have an
epplet as part of the desktop, but you can raise if off the desktop
(then it actually creates a separate window for it) and put it above
other windows.  or maybe epplets that are part of the desktop should be
something else entirely?  I think i like the idea of being able to take
it off the desktop and put it on.  dont know how complex that would
actually be to do though.  well, just some thoughts.  let me know what
you think.

(On resize, it resizes the evas and ebits to the new window size). The
exmms file shows how easy it is to write an epplet using the api.
