You can do all of these things in your own app.  Why do you feel the
need to inflict this on other people?  Adding a bunch of weird
configuration options seems wasteful when you can just write a line or
two of code to customize things exactly as you need.

The reason you have a subclass of a View in your application is so you
can do whatever you want.
