In these days, after meal pause, i worked on the smartclient ui layout!

If you haven't seen the previous layout you can take a look at Phalanger: PHP for .NET 2.0 | CMSoft2 Smartclient UI Preview. As you can see, the newest layout is a lot better and flexsible!

Actually i'm looking for another font, and a way to better integrate breadcrumb and search box in the header.

A fast explanation:
- back (indietro) and next (avanti) will work exactly as in a browser
- reload (ricarica) will reload the current page, passing necessaries datas if is required
- favorites button will show/hide the favorites toolbar, the one after the header
- Breadcrumb box will work as it works in Vista
- Search box (cerca ...) will execute a search using the current module
- The clock in the footer will show server date/time
- The left box in the footer will show status messages
- The box near the clock on the footer, on the right side of the bar, will contains some icons, added by smartclient modules, that will jump up and down when a notification is requeted ... them will behaves like windows/linux trayicons

Look at attachment for the layout image!

Any suggestion or comment is well accepted!!!

Note: i've noticed only now that i've wrote "Dashboard" instead of "Preferiti" (favorites)

Looking around for the web, some time ago, i discovered Phalanger: a php compiler written in C# to output dot net assemblies!

A couple of days ago i rescued it because the smartclient for CMSoft2 will use it for administration modules!

After a lot of experiments, i succeded in php code compilation, assemblies loading and, for the end, in classes instanciation and execution: using windows forms, from php, i shown a form with a label!

I hope that in a couple of days to post a screenshot of smartclient user interface, however, at the moment, there is a shot of a test layout, look at attached files (the clock will be replaced by other stuff).

Ah, before i forgot it, phalanger is twice faster than php and if it will pass to use DLR instead of a lot of code to emulate typeless structure it will be more faster!
