I think that it would be nice to be able to turn a prototype into a class definition. Because as igor said been able to edit code is often a good way to reuse.


Maybe you right. But with current solution you can just open explorer on morph which you want to change and modify it state programmatically as you want. At the end of modifications you just save it as prototype. Also you can easilly get prototype instance and modify it directly. There is "inspect build context" item in halo menu.
Also there is menu items for copy prototype from one presenter and paste it to another.

But sometimes our clients ask me for xml with skin properties to change x,y of some interface element. I just show him halo menu and they happy.
