It is nice how the drawing code is separated and it seems like other parts of the app_server could benefit from that as well.Yes, that would be the basic idea.bitmaps client_server cursors decorators desktop fonts screen workspacesI wouldn't go into that much detail, as that makes it harder in a few cases on where to put stuff. "fonts", "bitmaps", and "decorator" alone would already quite improve the situation. "client_server" is a bit misnamed IMO, as the code only contains the server part - it would also not be very convenient to separate ServerWindow from Window, for example. Some of the existing stuff might be better placed in "drawing", and a "utility" sub directory would be worthwhile as well. It would be my preference to put the main classes (Desktop, Window, View, Server*, ...) into the main directory, as those fit together well, and make the core of the app_server.While the separation might not be perfect without some refactoring, moving the obvious sources files into the above directories then changing the Jamfile is a quick fix to maybe make the app_server code easier to manage.If someone tackles this, there is also the test app_server Jamfile that needs to be adapted.
will look into it when if I have time...
