Okay two things. The compatibility manager can just instead be like only for
Canvas instead of the entire framebuffer thing. Additionally instead of having
a ClientManager
and everything going through it, I believe instead there
can just be a class in javax.microedition.lcdui
or similar if that could be
initialized (will have to think about that) that instead of having all of the
display widgets route to secondary classes in my package and instead just
use single objects for everything instead. So every widget on the local end
would be initialized with a ServiceCaller
where that widget does the stuff.
I mean one could access the ServiceCaller
though and I do not believe I can
do anything to stop that. But that would simplify cases where there are local
and remote widgets. Well there would just be remote widgets that are
referenced locally by indexes and such, rather than having 3 instances of
classes for widget management. But it really does not matter if the
ServiceCaller
is exposed anyway because someone can just directly perform
service calls using the system call interface so it is a moot point.

Okay so Display
and TabbedPane
will be __Container__
which will, well
sort of since the problem would be inheritence here. But they will be
containers which can store Displayables
. At least with a more direct
approach I can have it where I do not need to juggle extra classes and objects
client side. So this should be easier to implement now.
10:53
So do I want to keep __DrawSpace__
? I think something that might help is
having an extra container class which can be initialized with some
information. I suppose it will need to be a ground up thing again.

I think when it comes to fonts, I am only going to have a built-in font but I could have adapters to system fonts potentially despite it being a bit complex. Actually, I think what I would need is system based font rendering. Like have the system able to render fonts and such. That would be a bit non-determinstic and less controlled though. Basically a system call would have to be made for rendering fonts. At least when it comes to system calls and such I will need to manage how glyphs are loaded and such. I could load them all client side and have duplicates in the process when they are all shared, that would be easier to do.

Okay this is very important, but I need an API which allows me to connect to UNIX sockets and such. So I will need to exploit GCF for this at least for a X11 connection to work properly.
