>>Hi!
>>
>>I have had a look at the W toolkit. It looks to me very similar to the Max
>>toolkit of the Marx (C-like) scripting language interpreter (don't search
>>for it - it's not on the web anymore). There is one thing I would like to
>>discuss:
>>
>>In W and Max you configure a Widget via a variable argument list with a
>>token (the action or thing to change) and a value for this action. You end
>>up with a special token. Isn't this paradigma much less powerfull, then
>>the
>>GC one used in X11, nano-X and GEM (virtual workstations=GC)?
>>
>>In X11 e.g. you can set up a GC ready for use with - let's say - buttons.
>>You can set a fg/bg-color, a font etc. Now you can use this GC a several
>>time. In W or Max you would have to set the widgets look each time again -
>>explicitely.
>>
>>I tell that in thinking about the discussion to eventually create a new
>>basic widget set especially for nano-X. If we would make a new one, we
>>could use all features of nano-X and could tune it to use nano-X's
>>concepts
>>exclusively. It would be very powerful and small - but not more
>>multiplatform, than nano-X.
