Windom2 will be provided as a shareable library useable in C, C++, GFA, 
Asm, etc...

So it's not an argument.

Of course but it's currently the easiest way to create a modern ( 
frames, etc...) new application compatible with all the systems.

Right?

I have not doubts on that but all the things than the WCOWORK mode will 
provide exist already in windom.

Please, read again the mail of Arnaud.

I'm very happy that a coder like Odd continues to make XAAES better, I 
thank him, but imho, you need to make XAAES/MyAES more attractive for 
the MagiC User before to change the API.

Some ideas:
- True Colors icons/mouse cursor support.
- Themes
- New iconification mode ( maybe in a dock like MacOSX or something else 
?).
- Widgets in the menu, etc...

After, you do what you want but keep in mind than almost all the 
developpers don't want to make an software *only* for XAAES.

Ask to the Highwire ( or Tempus Work, Calamus, Aniplayer, ...) team if 
they want only make their applications only for XAAES... I know already 
their answers.

For my part, you have my opinion.


For finish, just one question:

You are the author of aicq, right? The next versions will be only 
compatible with XAAES?
