just wanted to try it but it does not compile on gcc4, could you take
a
look? some template magic...

Sorry, I was taking advantage of a GCC2 specific language extension.
It's fixed in r41803.


thanks! First, like it :-) some, maybe already known, issues:

- focus follows mouse gives somewhat random results for the left right menu... - how the apps for the top/bottom menu are chosen? found it not very helpful, for example which terminal is on which workspace? / which terminal is meant by the icons? - animation could be bit faster or switched off? looks very nice but slows down the workflow IMHO.

Did somebody already thought about an animation framework? For example, a class derived from BHandler that can be used to do the animation and has to be installed into a BLooper. The programmer has to overwrite a hook function Animate(float progress) to do the work (progress from 0 to 1)...

cheers,
        Clemens
