Short teaser videos is the way to go, e.g. one per question, or point, or feature. > If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, it's usually > better not to say anything at all. ..and some times brutal truths must be told. This guy has potential, but he blows it all away with me with his overlenght and oversize nonsense. Cut the crap, get to the points, also visually. That includes the crappy oversize white banner left over half the panel and over way too much of the scenery that at least I wanted to see. ..move it out of the way, make it transplarent, put your face in it, or make it a watermark style banner. "Fade it" from white will also work, should also work for the crowd who likes his current style. > (For any third party reading this, Arnt's comments are not usually a > reflection of the general view of the FG community, as a perusal of > the mailing list will quickly show) ..am I the only one who would like to see him able to put his face right next to the radio stack? Would also work with Atlas and other moving map etc window apps that we etc might wanna test. ..a valid point you could have made, is my all ideas no code contribution. Not my choice, I've been too busy fighting off Statoil.com since 2005, their straw men bought the workshop I built my thermochemical gasifier in, they don't want me nor my clients making power from crap. Zero code until I have a new place. ..another valid point is I don't waste my time watching TV, which over time makes you a stranger in your own country, TV "spoon feed" has a strong dumbing down influence on culture, premier case in point are the in all senses of the word, _cheap_ "reality" shows. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
