Thanks, but really none of that makes any sense.
-Choosing HTML would NOT make an interface look like a website.(unless you wanted it too)
-If I choose html over traditional C3 objects then yes, programming approach is completely different. One uses html, css and javascript and the other other uses uses traditional C3 coding and the layout view visual setup (Scene graph hierarchies etc).
There are various advantages and disadvantages for each but I'm starting to think that html is now the better option.
As of the update yesterday(r369), the html object got a significant update allowing us to us html layers 'under or over' traditional c3 art layers. This makes the html approach even more appealing.
