Core Treeview
-------------

Updating the front-end to work with the Core Treeview changes. Largely
complete, the following items are either low priority (?) or waiting for
other changes such as the toolbar widget re-implementation.

This work is (at present) in the trunk.

### Outstanding work

-   Should the font used in treeviews be configurable?

-   Textarea code should call the front end to render the caret. (Like
    the form code.)

-   Hotlist editing dialogues need to be reinstated, or all associated
    templates and code need to be removed.

-   URL Suggest Menu module may require re-implementation as a
    stand-alone entity which collects URLs entered directly into the
    address bar and Open URL dialogue, instead of relying on URLdb. Low
    priority?

Toolbar Update
--------------

Updating the toolbar implementation to break the component parts into
stand-alone widgets. This will serve two main purposes: allowing some
outstanding Core Treeview issues to be closed off cleanly, and allowing
additional features to be added to the GUI without the risk of breaking
the existing components.

This work is underway in /branches/stevef/toolbars.

### Niggles

-   Toolbar menus shade unsupported widgets, instead of hiding them.

-   Check and confirm the correct content types for
    ro\_gui\_url\_bar\_set\_site\_favicon() to accept from the core.

-   URL Completion needs to be migrated from the Window module towards
    the Toolbar / URL Bar modules.

### Further improvements

-   "Unlimited" length URL field in URL Bar Widget.

-   Tab Bar Widget.

-   URL Suggest module could identify menu availability more
    efficiently.
