So, I put a drawer into the app, its only relevant to two of the tabs on the main window. So does that mean its a bad design. I read some stuff that said that the drawer should be used as a parent interface, not something that shows data for a particular item, and this sort of makes sense, except that if you do this and the drawer is hidden, then it wouldnt be clear how to set the main context.
To me, I actually dont normally like the drawers, but I cant quite see where to put this information without a redesign and even then it still isnt something I'd like to put on the main form. hmmm
I'm told that the new ical dispenses with the drawer metaphor, and this makes sense. iCal is annoying in that, to me, the info in the drawer seems pretty important and not something that should be an afterthought.
So here it is, a drawer that shows stats on the item selected in the main window. It hides itself if you select the first info tab and (re)-reveals itself for the other tabs.
Actually I only put it in because I was interested for a moment on how you made them, but now it seems useful.
