Sure, but it\'s unlikely to happen any time soon. The reason is that
we need to first convert the AppWizard to produce output that is
compatible with the Class Designer. Then we can create multiple app
templates that can plug in the generated classes. Since we can\'t
envision every possible design that someone may want, what we\'d like
to do is provide instructions for creating your own custom template,
and then submitting that to be shared with other developers. This way
we can create a library of designs for developers to choose from.

Interesting that you say that. One of the discussions I recently had
with Paul concerned exactly that point. He\'s looking to use a panel-
based design, which can then be added to pages, or forms, or anything
else.
