Hi,

thank you very much for your answer.

Sounds good!

I'm new to all this, but perhaps you or someone else can help me:

I would be very interested in a step by step tutorial, showing how to a 
simple GUInterface to a simple app.

Then I'd like to experiment with SVG objects as GUI components. I think 
that would be very interesting: not being limited to predefined widgets, 
but being able to use any possible vector shape as GUI components.

SVG:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
http://www.pinkjuice.com/SVG/

Would that be possible using rbXPCOM?
Perhaps in combination with
http://www.croczilla.com/svg/ ?

Something like "clicking on the pink ellipse animates it to become a 
bigger ellipse showing selectable options" etc.

(I know that there are many opponents to stuff like that, but I think it 
would be fun, and could be efficient and usable)

Ultimately, all this wouldn't happen in a frame by a GUI toolkit, but 
self-contained floating SVGUIs ;)
