But wasn't that what was suggested? A regular tooltip when you hover a disabled (greyed out) menu item? In the example of disabled Paste-item it could simply state "Locked layer". It won't appear unless you hover the disabled item. I can't see how that could be intrusive? > and i repeat myself: i'm for a notification area where the user gets the > notifications. and he knows that if there is a notification it will be there. > and he can browse through a few past notifications. and can get more > information about specific notifications. even links to the online doc. Well, you might have an idea there, but no other programs use that as far as I know. Wouldn't it be better to do like other programs do? We are already seeing a lot of users complain that Scribus does things different. /Peter
