I like the idea of the checkbox. But I think the icons are still useful, and would be more so if one could distinguish between different types of controller. For example, it would be useful to know if a controller was once-only, loop, random etc. Might also be useful to distinguish between different Listeners (Full, Tree, Assertion); and I'm sure there are other possibilities.
One solution might be to "decorate" a basic icon for each type with its subtype - either by having multiple specific icons derived a generic one, or by actually applying the decorator at run-time, like Eclipse does. Either way, these should probably be resources that could be customised locally. I think it would be more difficult to "read" the tree without the icons (one way to see this would be to temporarily use the same icon for everything!)

Hi. Another idea that's idling around: I find the enabled/disable feature extremely useful, but unconfortable. It would be nice to have a checkbox in front of each item in the tree instead. On the other side, I find the icons pretty useless (may get better with more colorful and distinct icons, but I can't tell). I'd like to propose to remove the icons in favour of an enable/disable checkbox. Opinions? Do you like having the icons? -- Salut, Jordi. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
