Re: [rox-devel] Re: per panel/pinboard options? plus some other ideas

I like the idea of the gDesklets project, but not all of the gnome
dependancies.

The way I envisioned pinboard applets was to have say a script like
AppletRun (DeskletRun?) to indicate it can run as a pinboard applet and
it would just render the applet onto the pinboard. Transperancy and such
would be the job of the prgrammer to implement, not a feature of all
applets. The pinboard applet would essentially be a specialised pin
item, that way the pinboard itself would manage the positioning. In
reguard to sizing when the applet it its requested size could be sent to
the pinboard which would then build an item of that size. In theory this
doesn't appear to be overly diffuclt to implemented as most of the code
required could most likely be reused form the existing source. I will
have a play with it tonight.
