But perhaps I'm able to help with some usability articles. i would agree to pretty much all you said - a lot of the config ui is due to limited widgets and capabilities - we can MASSIVELY improve this. hell - the config dialogs are all modules now. they can be replaced each with better ones. if each person basically took on board 1 config dialog (module) and for the next 6 months did NOTHING but tried to improve the UI so its incredibly slick, compact, obvious to use and well-worded - we could have things much better. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
