Customisable sidebar !?

[PurpleCow]

Hi,

I am using almost latest CVS snapshot...which is a week old.
The new ver 0.8 offers us the option of separated HTML from the actual code. However...the side bar is still not customisable. Or rather its quite difficult to customise every pixel of the same. may be because they are a part of plugins and plugins are not yet separated the html from teh code. Any plans yet ?

Thanks

Sidebar plugins will supposedly never be HTML-adjustable. In effect it'S better to take the plugin and modify it in PHP Code; most of them just output simple HTML.

The reason for this is just plain performance. If Smarty would have to parse 10-15 seperated templates file on top of the templates already parsed, the performance would really suck.
