Re: [e4-dev] Customizing the UI of the shared area?

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We're still looking into ways to handle
this (it was one of the hot issues in our 4.x discussions).

The most obvious solution is that we
shouldn't even have the 'shared area' unless there's more than one stack
there. I'm starting work on modifying the DnD handler to have a specific
modifier (ALT?) that will create an 'area' (and then remove the default
shared area, you can create the area if you want when you split the editor
stack).

Once we've created an area we will need
some visible way to indicate to the user that there *is* an area there
but we are indeed trying out various ways to minimize the impact on the
presentation (i.e. make the min/max buttons as small as possible, fly out...).

The code that manages the presentation
is called AreaRenderer; it renders the MArea model element.

Hi again,

the shared area has a top bar which is only used for the
min/max buttons. Is it possible to remove that completely so that my parts
can use the full available space? And if so can you gove me a pointer to
the code where to look at?

Any help will be appreciated, as ever.
So long,
