No, Clarence, I did not need the icons, at all. Very good idea! But I
do not need a pyramid either. Really bad idea! I would rather prefer
the icons that are of little use to animations that are of no use.
The XCH *IS* useful as it shows what is going on.
BTW: Those who successfully escaped the land of pyramids,
pharaohs and slavery had to march 40 years through the desert.
On a stop at Sinai they got commandments for life in freedom.
The second one sound like this: You shall not make for yourself a
graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them...
Alternatives for image free screen zone:
- a small percent number indicating whether you are at the beginning
in the middle or at the end of the page, for mouse-eaters usually
do not have a scrollbar on their Arachne screen.
- what about an indicator telling you whether the current page is in
a virtual screen?
- other settings of ARACHNE.CFG that users might like to change often:
e.g. charset or profile.
Ash Wednesday - still 40 days to go.
