Er, no it isn't. The only visual difference is that the search box has something in it. Everything else is identical as far as I can see. > I might be wrong, though.

The problem with Search being active is that it's so easy to miss if you're not actually looking for it, and of course if you are looking for it you don't need the cue. I'd suggest both disabling Clear and highlighting the dropdown menu using the default "selection" colour. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
