  • Created a layout of 4 sample applications and saved off the layout as xml and was able to reload it after restarting, should work for a demo
  • Learned a bit about Catalyst and tried making a skin with it.  It’s not as flexible as I hoped.  You can only create a very basic flex app with buttons, slides, and text inputs.  I was hoping to create a whole theme by drawing panels, etc. in illustrator and converting them to flex skins.
  • Started creating a Mac-ish dock component for minimizing windows, it’s working pretty well but needs more flair
  • Started working on a tooltip overhaul which is needed for the dock component.  Need tooltips that can contain more than just text and better looking tooltips won’t hurt anything else.
