RE: Source Evaluation?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I realize that, Joe.  I was just thinking out loud.  Part of the reason I
was thinking about the categories concept was the ability to have multiple
sets of properties in one file (each in a different category), and then
easily switch between by changing one setting.

I haven't thought the whole idea through, but I just thought I'd get some
feedback.  You'll hear more from me as I begin to implement some other
things.  For example, I want to be able to set up default styles for
different widgets.  I'll also have support for style sheets, but in the
cases where I don't want to use a style sheet, it would be nice to have some
default properties.  At the same time, there are different properties for
different widget types:

  [TableHeader]
  font=12pt Arial bold
  background=blue
  color=white

  [TableCell]
  font=10pt Arial
  color=#4040FF

As you can see, it would be nice to have use the same property names, just
in different categories.
