The day when Timeline becomes more graphical

This is the new Timeline layer. It is not completely finished but it is more graphical and (at least for me) more beautiful ;)





To create it, I was developed before a new little package called "Widgets" with a mini set of classes implementing: button, image and label.
All them are kinds of widgets and can receive mouse events: entered, exited, left pressed, left clicked, draw and draw end. Depending on these event you can change the properties of the objects: opacity, change its texture (to make feel the button is pressed), font, etc.

Hi, I'm really interested in that “timeline” feature for WWJ.
Can I use it??

Dear Antonio,

this is quite impressive, what you did. Is your code accessaible anyhow?

Thanks for your answer,

Thanks a lot to all of you.
The timeline is based in the old previous post about temporality (http://theballoonproject.blogspot.com/2007/11/wwj-temporality-updated.html).
I have not much time to continue with the project.
I think, currently in the WWJ6 there are some object to create buttons, and maybe they are a better solution than mines.
