+ 4 - 4 | § ¶SWT Migration of UI.

I started to code the new UI based on eclipse SWT http://www.eclipse.org/swt. I have strong motivation to this because of the following reasons:

- SWT is more closely integrated with the OS, on Windows, an SWT application looks like any other windows applications, On Mac....

- It is expected that jPodder/SWT will consume less memory.

- More OS features, like clickable link support on all OS'es, System tray on all OS'es.

- Better build-in Browser support, I have some interresting concepts on how to use Stylesheets and javascripts (AJAX) inside jPodder to provide style to the directory. If you don't know what I am talking about, picture A build-in directory which is nicely formated like a website showing images, descriptions, top 10 etc.... (iTunes like directory). SWT will allow this.

Now the good news is that the conversion to SWT is going very rapidly. In just 2 weeks, I have fully migrated Personal Feed view (Sortable Feed table, Status bar, menu, popup's etc..). If it keeps going like this jPodder will be fully SWT enabled in a month or so. At the same time I will hack in new features as I mentioned earlier.
