Hi,

I just tried elicit and have some comments. I know it's CVS stuff, but I
hope someone read my comments and think about them.

First it's a great application and I like it. ;-)

But:
- the "pseudo" window decoration looks like in winter theme. I think
  it looks not good in other themes
- because window decoration isn't a real window decoration I couldn't
  move elicit to another virtual desktop with using magic borders.
  Pressing ALT while moving is a workaround, but not very "intuitive".
- the "zoom icon" looks nearly the same as the "close icon"
- the icons at the left tab are realy small and not intuitive
- no tooltips
- vertical scroller isn't mouse wheel sensible and too small
- vertical scroller doen't behave like other unix scrollers. For example
  click with middle button jump to scroll position...
- fonts are too small -> please look at my screenshot[1] and compare it
  to  Gimp (gtk2) on the same screenshot

Perhaps some comments aren't elicit specific and depend on the widget
library (ewl?). Could someone please answer why all E0.17 apps and E0.16
itself has such small fonts and widgets compared to _all_ other widget
sets? The first thing I did after switching to E0.16 was creating my own
theme (SilverMania) because the most existing themes are too small on my
screen. Here is a screenshot[2] of winter on my system. As I read on the
user-list I'm not the only person with this problem. So please give any
comment about this. Why doesn't other environments have this font/widget
size problems?

Here you can see the font problem:

the title is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~" -> Can you read it without elicit? ;-)

Another widget size example:
http://brachttal.net/tmp/focus2.jpg
The "X" in the checkbutton looks like a dot (winter theme). I'll size
this up in my own theme next time, but you see the "widget size
problem"?

Perhaps it's an idea to give size settings in the E themes not in pixel,
but in a value that is sized with resolution and screen size to avoid
this problem. As I remember in Windows (at least Visual Basic) there's
something called "Twips". Or is there another idea how to solve this
widget/font size problem with different resolution and/or screen size?

regards
Andreas
