Window Manager + Window Editor
- WinLIKE consists of two parts:
the WinLIKE Window manager that the user applies and the WinLIKE Editor to create
and define windows. With this Editor, you can edit characteristics like
the size, content, skin etc. with the help of a Graphic user interface.
The Editor delivers little segments of javascript code that can be integrated
into HTML pages, which subsequently contain windows.
Function
- WinLIKE windows work like HTML frames, only
with many more functions. The content of a link with the target 'abc'
for instance can be loaded into a window with the name 'abc' - just as
if the window was a common frame. The window can be predefined with the
Editor or API and will be displayed or made visible as soon as the content
is loaded. That is the whole concept.
As WinLIKE is based purely on HTML, you do not even need a web server.
Just call up your WinLIKE HTML pages from your hard disk, just like any
other normal HTML page.
Usability
- WinLIKE windows do not make sense everywhere, especially where
too many windows can irritate. Find a balance between the usage of the
conventional HTML content of the root-site and WinLIKE windows on top
of that.
