And then I further stacked the deck against myself by wanting to support dynamically-determined but fixed-position widgets (think position:fixed in CSS), which you can see in that red "Fixed position widget" in the video. |
Nice. I'm adding a note to my idea list to look at your code for a potential "do all the resizing things" module.
