“WindowTypes and NodeTypes”

Yesterday I wrote:

For the last two days I've been looking at some of Frontier's (and Radio's) newest features. Things that I didn't have time for until now, like WindowTypes and NodeTypes.

Someone (one of those people who doesn't say anything publicly without a whole lot of thought, preparation, and sweat... you know who you are) wrote to me to ask what I think of the features: "useful, fun, or overrated?"

My answer: useful and fun.

I haven't dug into it far enough yet, but I was able to get a couple of quick little features working.

What I like is that most of the windows in Frontier are outlines, so everything except wptext's and menubars can make use of nodeTypes. I haven't tried it with tables yet, but Brent told me it works.

I couldn't possible have answered "overrated", since this has got to be one of the least talked about, least documented features in all of Frontier.
