Yep, I still have it there in another directory and I even tried to update
it with the recent changes in cvs.
AFAIK did I implement it in a handmade fashion as I haven't seen a layout
lib that does the layout the way I think it should be done. Also I think
that havin yet another lib leads to some unnecessary overhead. Also pe
hasn't such a extensive GUI that it get's too complicated. (Perhaps except
of the prefs, but there the GUI is made out of lot's of simple pages.
Anyway, I don't know if it is necessary to replace the resources when it
comes to localisation. I already did some designs using the resources for
that purpose long time ago.
Perhaps you remember FontiSuite, that did localisation with 9 languages and
GUI on the fly without restarting the app.

Perhaps this is not the question. Perhaps both can be combined with just
removing absolute coordinates there and replacing them with something else.
