Thanks for your input.
Yeah, I have to make a custom GUI anyway, I just think that I could save a lot of time by using HTMLView for some parts (basicly parts that need to display lots of formatted data). Making my own system that supports hypertext stuff that includes tables and images is quite a task. With HTMLView I get lots of extras (from CSS up to JavaScript components, videos, flash etc) with practically zero work. This is something I really need to think about. I do HTML and JavaScript for living as a day job so using HTMLView gadgets is real tempting: I could get serious results with very small time investments. HTMLView would make things like comprehensive in-game help and in-game encyclopedia a trivial task from programming point of view.
Panel cropping is a good idea. I need to check out input focus issues.
