Hello,
Isn't what you say below an assertion that
1) You want the toolbar to do what the slit does, because
2) There is no need for *both* toolbar *and* slit in BB,
meaning that for the end user they functionally overlap, and all it's
really needed is*ONE* only way to puth a small, cpu light, unobtrusive
dashboard with aall the tools {time, link speed, cpu usage, new mail,
all the bbthings...} inside it?
Because that's *exactly* what I've been thinking for some time.....
