# UI Toolkit Ideas
The UI toolkit was loosely inspired by Tk and could copy more of their ideas.
* **Anchor vs. Side:** currently use Anchor to mean Side when packing widgets
into a Frame. It should be renamed to Side, and then Anchor should be how a
widget centers itself in its space, making it easy to have a Center Middle
widget inside a large frame.
* **Hover Background:** currently the Button sets its own color with its own
events, but this could be moved into the BaseWidget. Tk analog is
`activeBackground`
* **Mouse Cursor:** the BaseWidget should provide a way to configure a mouse
cursor when hovering over the widget.
## Label
* **Text Justify:** when multiple lines of text, align them all to the
left, center, or right.
