At least I don't see any. I'd strongly encourage everyone to check and see if it turns up again. >> What do you mean by "over the board"? They show in the game info area >> below the board.

Floating arround in the midst of action? I have quite some games that use rather extensive textual commentaries. And also note that tooltips can not have scroll bars. I'm not sure that they are really a solution. The more I think about it the more I dismiss it. > Some code i wrote give me conflicts when i update to cvs, so i'll try to > make some clean-up or check-out a new version to see the improvements. > However, i hope that "alt-tab switching" do not mean you override the > system behavior of the alt+tab. No. Surely not. Why should I? Alt-Tab just switches the windows. Its a fine behaviour and I need it to switch to the comment editor. > The "comment editor" is very, very, very ugly and i vote for rewrite it > from scratch. Hm. Well... I don not really agree. > Ok, it's like firing on the red cross, but: > - If i mark a square red in the comment appears [%draw full,d7,red] : > seriously? What's wrong with that? > - Why there is a minuscule (not resizeable) copy of the board? Should it be resizable? It is only for marking fields. Really a larger board needed for that? I think it is doable, like we have it in the browser windows. I think it could also be bound to ctrl-mouse-wheel. But I admit that I don't see the actual usecase. (Btw: this is one of the fine points where we have two absolutely contradictionary requests.

I'd like to laugh as well ;) > What's a simple "comment editor" in my opinion? > A simple box when you can type comments, right click to insert an > annotation symbol and that is closed and saved when i finished typing. Well, we have that except the autoclose.

I admit that I hate semitransparent windows (besides that I'm not sure that Tcl/Tk can do such things). Besides: it would be easy to invoke save on ctrl-e. We could map e.g. ESC to close without saving. Opinions? > But i don't know if tk supports semi-transparent backgrounds. (hopefully not ;) > The "insert mark" should be a combo box in the toolbar, let's say like > the one to change the character color in openoffice. You refer to the buttons below the board in the comment editor? Would have to check if a combobox could hold graphics. Would save one line, at max. probably two if I do the same with colour selector. But may ask if we really should tune every easy accessible function to micro-screens. IMHO also a usability question. Opinions? > I don't know why you prefer to leave the window opened. Sometimes to read the comment. And I can switch back and forth with alt-tab / alt-shift-tab, or my sliding focus respecitvely, quite quickly. And as I need the input bar for NAGs for the lesser common (e.g. /\, []) > Ctrl+e is better > than alt-tab to focus on the window and the comments are more ofter read > than written, so why keep opened a window rarely used? I actually use it quite a bit. So it is actually no rarely used window for me. Maybe this is my cc-usecase where you play and annotate in one go. > Do you know if there is a way to remove the navigation button over the > board (left arrow, right arrow, etc...)? This has no option yet. We could add one.
