Maybe I'll extra ASUI's process viewer code and make a list widget for it.

Also working on some code that allows sliding between views. It copies the current window to a pixmap, draws next view in another pixmap and then slowly animates between the two or allows user to drag between the two views. When you open a folder in the file manager it will slide the new folder in from the right. When you swipe right or click to go back it slides the parent folder in from the left. And switching between bookmarks and file view might slide vertically. ASUI will also use this when changing between primary and secondary widget pages and when opening/closing dialogs.

Maybe we should also start a UI library project/thread to create a lightweight and touch-friendly UI widget library. Figure out what should be in it to make a new style of apps for Maemo4. Such as system-wide theming support and Kroll could tell us what is needed for good theming. Wouldn't it be nice if ASUI, SiMP, the file manager, Telescope's category bar and others all shared the same theme?

Thoughts?
