Comments on: Rialto: Rich toolkit platform with drag and drop http://ajaxian.com/archives/rialto-rich-toolkit-platform-with-drag-and-drop Cleaning up the web with Ajax Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:43:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michael van Ouwerkerk http://ajaxian.com/archives/rialto-rich-toolkit-platform-with-drag-and-drop/comment-page-1#comment-246210 Michael van Ouwerkerk Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:23:29 +0000 http://ajaxian.com/archives/rialto-rich-toolkit-platform-with-drag-and-drop#comment-246210 @dgirard: point taken. I guess I'm a bit spoiled with all the time I get to polish my controls. Still, I think it's worth discussing strengths and weaknesses of any toolkit, because in the end the goal is to deliver something that enables a smooth, coherent user experience. In my eyes this goal is not influenced by whether a product is open source or commercial, and I'm interested in seeing how far Ajax can go towards delivering the goods. @dgirard: point taken.

I would say, a small group of essential widgets is included, they are the right choice of first things to build for a widget collection. But they don't seem to be very polished or full featured. Some of the theme colors are so light! I almost can't see the resize line of the splitter or the grid columns. Horizontal scrollbars were never hot, never allow those to show all over the place.
