>I fear we're starting to stray off-topic for the list... Fair point. But when many people on this list ask for features to be included in Rev there is often another way of doing the same task. We don't request spreadsheet capability in word, cos we've got excel, and the two are compatible. It often seems to me that cos a user can't do something then they request a feature, all I'm trying to do is suggest 'reasonable alternatives'(look sidewards). I see my computer as a working unit, not each individual application. >I mean, just trying to visually distinguish which panes belong to which apps >when there are other panes/apps in the background would be icky. If I'm >running three apps and toggling between them I'd much rather deal with >three total panes than six (two each) or nine (three each). Again, fair point. But this also relates to the recent 'Conforming UI' thread on the list, so its relevant. A badly designed GUI makes even the simplist application difficult to use. So what defines a good GUI ? (rhetotical question OK !) >I'd love to see a cross-platform control in RR that can render any well-formed HTML thrown at it. >>Must admit, it would be nice ;-) :-) A guy can dream, right? Oh yeah ! Thanks Jim, as you suggested we're straying off-topic, so I'll leave you to have the last word (if you wish...)
