Sounds brilliant and just what I've always wanted! Can we put
deposits down for upgrades to NC v3 yet???? :-)
Another idea that may already be implemented in 'Octopus' is the
ability to drag applications straight onto the toolbar and have them
added without fiddling in the prefs page. It would obviously have the
ability to edit the preferences once they are added - to set-up
keyboard hotkeys etc. - but wouldn't that be great? Bet it's already
got the feature 'cause it sounds sorted! >:o)
