Chunks Revealed by matty on 10-08-2010 at 02:52 AM
This thread is for the long time members who could never figure out from the official documentation how to use chunks. And after spending sometime with Patchou this week in Montreal and complaining to him that the schema validates fine but it still doesn't work he took a look.
As it turns out the information schema was inaccurate.
Download the interface tester and save the following code to an xml file and try and load it. Once I finish bugging Patchou to fix something else in the schema I will post it.
Until then 
xml code:

Maybe also suggest to add this as an example in the Scripting docs...

Can someone post a screenshot of the created window? Don't have Plus! installed here

Cheers Cookie!
Can do quite a bit with it then!

Thanks for posting that Cookie! I forgot to!
Here is something else you can do:

This would bring great new interfaces' designs! Awesome!
