I've been reading the maemo improvements blog recently and wazd has come out and specified how a decent new app launcher could be laid out.

The only way to find out for me was to tie up the graphics capabilities of liqbase with the *current* system menu structure.
So I have spent some time examining the interfaces and have managed to load and display and interact with the current system menu structure.

(I have also made the menu background use the current system one as well, this style improvement follows throughout liqbase currently)

This is by no means finished nor even in a final form yet, but just thought I would post the idea up here to gauge feedback.



I'm thinking of using a variation on the physics view to dynamically resize the icons within the selected menu, but keep everything on screen for those with a stylus and a keen eye.

I'm planning to have a set of icons down the side to allow quick sketching camera media player and contacts/calendar usage

just idle new year thoughts anyway.


As for liqbase itself, I have spent the last month or so cleaning up a lot of libraries and trying to create a single base widget to build from, its not ready yet and I was aching to get back to some visual code.
I just got myself a tabletpc which I have been after for a while and making the released 0.1.5 version work on it reminded me theres a lot still to do
