jgoodies seems nice!!!.
It goes a long way towards what glass is meant to be when finished.
My current design problem, is with regards to the new glass dialect. I wonder how I
can make it so that the general concept of "styles" is kept, since we've all been so
spoiled by its ease of use.
WRT Glayout:
It already handles the actual layout in much the same manner as jgoodies seems to do
it, without fluff. :-)
I just need to get the VID styles to use it... most, if not all, of them can be mapped
quite quickly. I just need to expand the style which includes one of several prebuilt
'with blocs.
What glayout is missing is margin/spacing/padding/universal_skins/locale/drag&drop/scaling/custom
titlebar/etc.
I'm keeping that for the real Glass layout engine.
I just thought that if glayout can get some of your addicted to this very convenient
way of building
GUIs then all the better. Glayout is simple and quick!
I might add my (vid 1.2.1 complient) pop-up menu to glayout, if it benefits the downloader
in any way.

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being
part of the problem is much more fun.
