Class hierarchy topology

Ahh this is good news. A traditional browser with a tree view will be
refreshing. In fact the Whisker browser has an excelent left part. If you
see a Whisker browser it uses the entire left vertical pane to show you the
hierarchy in a tree view and a tree view of categorized classes, so you use
the most convenient path to reach your interest. The rest of whisker I don't
like. The stack of code and class details moving by stacking here and there
is just too distractive. You need fix things to think deep. It also have a
very poor contrast so it promotes eye exaustion quickly. Also you loose
shout coulouring.

Ideal for me will be a browser like the one we have but instead of the
classes categories it could have the left of whisker using the whole
vertical size. I prefer to be able to reach classes from categories *and*
hierarchy by loosing some surface for code than poor classes accessibility
an a lot of, most of the time, sub-used surface for 1-4 lines of code in 90%
of code.

Pragmatical conclusion: the actual browser with a tree view would be a step
forward,

	Hi!

	OK. I will merge my changes back to OB repository and anyone can
play with it. But there are conceptual issues I haven't solved yet. I will
merge it by tomorrow and post some notes.

		Isn't Juraj Kubelka working on that? I think he has
implemented a tree view for
		OmniBrowser.
		He can certainly tell you more.
