Imho, the best solution would be to replace the "standard" buttons (minimize, maximize, close) by a kind of expanding shelf inside the border, where every window setting can be placed as a icon. This way everyone could reach his most used features by a single click, while the menu could be logical while keeping its complexity (I think morlenxus has done a good job with the new menu). Though this certainly would be a lot of work and _I_ sure am not up to it, so I just throw it in the room :) At least this would satisfy each and everyone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
