Hmm.. Yea, maybe. Currently I just use settings from the examples and try to get them to work properly. Seeing my problems I had with the layout in my past mails, I try to figure out what went wrong and how to solve it. Ending in the swamp of internals that I do not understand. :-O > But discerning between contexts and layout objects as targets should be a > good start. Thanks, I think, it helped some.
