Some basics

Toolwindows

• Toolwindows make no sense. No one needs extra windows so they should be inside the browser.
• Toolwindows could be some kind of app. So lets redefine:

Window=window.open(,'name','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no, scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=500,height=200') could mean: create an "app" which is 500x200 in pixels. This box can be moved around, snapped, dragged, dropped. It doesn't depend on anything. Its just there and doing something. Maybe an online radio, a chat, an calculator.
