despite the effort i put into drawing a nice anchor it looks ridiculous when its labelled as a bookmark, and the icon should be changed (or the label). The way hoped it would be used was beside the chain representing the hyper 'link' and the anchor representing the hypertext anchor. I think these two are stong clever metaphors. i think a globe with an arrow on it is not a good metaphor, although the Bookmark metaphor is definately clearer and more obvious than the Anchor metaphor. Remember there are more people out there who have never used computers than those that have. Granted the chain icon was remarkably similar to the one used by another project which could potetially have caused problems. If anyone is involved in mozilla i would like to go on record saying the icon is in the public domain and may be used by whoever want to use it, and id love to see it used in Mozilla (or Netscape). So is there a better way? Should i try again and draw another Chain and Anchor that fit in with the new Gnome Icons? We also seem to have regressed from our lovely speech bubble Help icon to the old ugly boring question mark icon (at least on win32). Hopefully the old version is still is in CVS, and maybe it should be passed along to Gnome they can share the wealth. I would also really like to see the current toolbars subdivided into more smaller toolbars as the toolbars are too wide for small displays, which is a nasty usability bug. I realise this problem will be reduced by the customisable menus feature, or even alomst eliminated iff custom menus allow you to create you own extra custom toolbars, but that does not get rid of the need for sensible defaults. I try to use abiword with the text labels on, as it gives lazy old me bigger buttons to hit and its faster to read the text than to try and decipher what some of the icons mean. Currently there is no way to turn this on other than by editing the Abiword.Profile, it seems a shame to waste a feature that has already been implemented. Sincerely Alan Horkan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PS dont anybody take my criticisms personally. id try and make some of these changes myself if i thought i could code well enough.
