LOTS and LOTS. let users tweak things. the thing gnome is trying to achieve is simply a matter of collecting lots of otpiosn within easy to access gui front ends that give you fewer visible options "at first" so less confusion, and this simply manipulates multiple options behind it - with an "advanced" dialog/tab/section with all the options available for twiddling. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
