Re: Variable UI

I think you are making thins too complicated. What are you doing with
so many images? Browsers can do client-side scaling of images for you
if you use the <img> tag (background image scaling is coming in
CSS3). It seems like you are a thick client developer and don't have
much experience with web development, am I correct. When doing
textures and gradients for web development you usually make something
that can be repeated. Also, if you can select a CSS3 compatible
browser you can use gradients and rounded corners built in so you
don't even need images for those. If you must do image generation
real time some cool stuff has come out with SVG lately(http://
raphaeljs.com/). Dealing with an HTML UI is a much different mindset
from thick clients. In thick clients you have to tell it exactly what
to do, in HTML you describe what you want it to do and it will handle
the layout and such real time. So I guess for more targeted help
please describe what the purpose of the majority of your images are
and why you believe you need to generate them real time on the server.
