A last suggestion. Instead of using a red cursor, it better to show the overwrite mode with a block caret instead of a vertical bar caret. That way you give a hint to the user that you're going to "eat" the next character if he writes something.
(That's, btw, the gnome-usability suggestion. I think that there is a bug report on gnome bugzilla against GtkTextView to implement something like that) Cheers, > -----Message d'origine----- > De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] De la part de Dom Lachowicz > Envoy� : lundi 20 janvier 2003 16:30 > � : Tomas Frydrych; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Re: INS > > > > What I was going to suggest even before this thread > > started was to > > use the same trick Emacs does and change the colour > > of the caret > > in the OVER mode to a bright colour (bright red?). > > This would be > > simple to implement, clearly noticeable, and > > unobtrusive. > > Approved. > > Dom > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
