[Eis-devel] back to basic widgets

[Bas L. <ba...@ba...>]

Hey all,

since the use of an advanced widget toolkit like dojo or something 
similar is not going to be anytime soon, I'm working to get the widget 
module working again. While I was doing this I had an idea that I will 
need you to help me with. I was thinking about trimming the widget 
module to a very basic widget set, with nothing more than widgets to 
build forms with and do some basic presentation with. I would like to 
strip the templated themes from the widget module and make widgets only 
themable using different css and images. The html will be fixed and 
directly generated in the service. I think that by doing this we will 
have a widget module that provides a little extra on top of plain html 
to use for creating consistent good looking forms tables and buttons but 
will be a lot less high maintenance than the 1.5 widget module, which is 
too complicated at some points, but too simplistic at others.
So, what do you guys think? Is this approach too drastic, or should I 
just go ahead and strip everything down to a slim basic widget set?

grtz,
Bas

PS
Luuk, I know how much trouble it was to build the templated widgets, 
sorry to undo that work with this.
