Make Flexbar Editor MONO compatible
Status: Alpha

Since this is a .NET project in the early stages of
development, how about making it a MONO compatible
project - then our Mac friends can enjoy it as well.
My understanding is that to move from .NET to MONO, you
need to remove any Windows specific interface calls,
replacing them with generic window manager calls.

You request sounded interesting, so I had a quick look into it:
The Flexbar Editor uses a number of external libraries etc.
that can be found elsewhere on this site. The main one that
I use that I thought would be a problem is the DockPanel
Suite which I use to do the cool dockable windows. The
author has been asked before about Mono and is thinking of
building support in, but it could take a while.
I also think that there maybe other libraries that use
Windows API directly also, which I guess is not allowed.
I will continue to take a look at the other libraries, but
unless there is a real big call to do it, it probably
wouldn't be worth the effort to try and get it working,
especially when it means removing some of the cool features.
I will try and post any changes I find here. You should be
able to monitor this by clicking a monitor link on the page
somewhere.
