Actually, it isn't too bad. I assume the callbask() is used by the
lbshell? I have not looked to see, but I guess it has to have some
immediate purpose.
The only thing that I would like to see is the option to have a longer
list than there are lines to display it. So say there are 15 items in the
list, but only 8 lines to the bottom of the screen (or I explicitly limit
it to an 8-line display) then 8 lines will be displayed, and if the cursor
moves to the bottom and beyond, the eight lines roll up, eliminating line
#1 at the top, and revealing line #9 at the bottom.
Yes, it is non-trivial, and there isn't much reward for doing it, but it
would allow an application to control how much of the screen was to be
clobbered by the lightbar list. Also, it would allow you to set the
number of lines to ONE and just have a rolling value. Hmmm... perhaps a
separate type of object would be better than using a maximally collapsed
lightbar list? Probably.
