see, i'm more of the blackbox type.
i prefer to surround myself with a minimal environment when working. takes away distraction while writing code.
now, i like well designed, iconic ui's. i just don't need my desktop to look like a graphic design cluster fuck.
:)
i would like to develop a modular ui which uses a database for settings and components.
i'm a big fan of databases.
store all your functions for a tool in a database instead of in runtime or compiled files.
you could do this using languages like xml/xul.
the pen tool exists as a record in a database instead of a convoluded file.
we did something like that for an in-house estimating application. we used xml to create our own scripting language. routines were stored in a database and pulled out when needed...
power-users were able to write custom tools for inclusion in the program or modify existing utilities and functions of the program.
kind of like autocad lsp.
