skin variables suggestion

[joethezombie]

In another thread we were talking about user defined boolean variables. I have another suggestion:

- Include current window size (width and height) as variables sizeX and sizeY.
- Allow < and > operations for the visible attribute.

now, using something like visible="sizeX > 200" we can do some really interesting things like hide controls unless the window is large enough to display them.

I'm not convinced by this one. This would only avoid displaying part of the control when it doesn't fit completely in the window. I think this is not a good behaviour for a GUI, because it doesn't leave any clue to the user that the window would have more controls if its size was increased...

Fair enough...

A real world example of this would be the iTunes interface-- while in compact mode if one resizes the window small, the "media info" control disappears. I was looking for similar functionality. Ah well.
