Right? E: Right. Regarding screenspace: the tools are BIG - which is kind of nice after having to use tiny (9 point) characters for the normal mac interface (which make sense on the miniature screen on the mac classic but look a little silly on a 19" screen). I don't mind that the tools are big, but as i said some of their graphics, especially the icons, are well, 'boxy'. Granted, I work at an art school so i may be a little critical but the hypercard icons while only B&W are actually nicer than the MC icons. They dialogue boxes are rather huge, and black on grey is a bad scheme. So, at least from an aesthetic/artistic perspective, i guess i volunteer to start doing some artsy craftsy stuff - would that be useful or desirable? I am assuming i can edit dialogue boxes using resEdit (which i am not sure of since all MC dialogue boxes and palettes are in fact stacks). I can also edit the cursor icons (and then save the documents as picts which i assume can be exported to ibm pc format). Its funny because the color palettes and functionality of buttons and fields are definitely superior to mac - the dialogues are a little boxy, the cursors a little bulky - but those icons are, well, impossible. Please let me know if i should start working on the following resources: icons cursors dialogue boxes if such be the case I can expect to have produced a couple hundred icons and a dozen cursors in a month or so: the dialogue boxes i can't say because i do not know if they are stored as resources (i hope) or stacks (oh well i wanted to learn their user interface and stack architecture anyway...) Oh, i expect to have a draft of the partnership agreement before the end of november and am indeed only waiting for commentary upon what has been suggested so as to avoid duplication of effort.
