That was the idea, when there only enough disk space to one film then the colour bar turns red, when the disk space is getting low then it is orange and when there is plenty of disk space then it is green. I think the traffic light metaphor is a good one. What I have now done is to make the levels configurable so that it is possible to set both DISKFREE_LOW and DISKFREE_VERY_LOW to zero, so that there is only a green bar. May be I should add some more alpha channel to the graphics. Do we have a tools in Freevo that allows us to play with graphics without having to run freevo each time, this would speed up development of graphics. The graphics in blurr are really very good, wish I could do them. :( > > > Dischi, who is a bit color blind :) Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
