In explaining the low quality graphics, i expect that the authors of MC are used to vectorial drawing rather than bitmap. Personally, for anything detailed bitmaps are better, unless your doing transformations. Since MC does not support "doMenu" as extensively as HC i do not forsee working on the menus till spring. I will produce between 20 and 100 basic icons (arrows, applications, sound volume, obvious stuff) in a bitmap format. Once i figure out how to get to the tool palette (thanks for the hint that it is a substack of home) i shall indeed, do a bit of surgery on our unfortunate hand icon (perhaps it is a cousin of Thing?) I personally prefer Chicago 12 for dialogues and the default font for buttons - if it would be compatible with pc. What is the default font on pc dialogues? on pc buttons? If the interface looks mac or pc is ok by me but it does need improvement. Oh, i favor monaco or geneva for the default script editor - again, are they supported in the pc environment? Regarding MCs background/grouping system, it sure is different. I hope to be able to figure it out - i can ungroup my imported HC background but then how to regroup it? shall figure it out... oh yeah, the free hand tool looks like indochina... for those who know where it is, 'nuff said. Yeah, i agree back it all up and then hack away... I will at least do the browse cursor - the arrow cursor is big, but its nicely done and i don't see it needing changed. The other palette tool icons are 'acceptable'. Really, bet ya that the icons were done in a vectorial environment, shrunk (as bitmaps?) and the result... well, the farmers in wisconsin would be impressed... ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
