Well I don't know if there is a need for such kind of widget, but take
into account that Modest has very specific requirements, that forced us
(long time ago during Diablo times) to create our custom cell renderers
to implement UI designers ideas

In the very specific case of Modest you can check out how we did it.
Basically we created two cell render containers, ModestHBoxCellRenderer
and ModestVBoxCellRenderer, and then we insert some cell renderers into
it to create the layout you could see in the messages window.
