But don't let us step into a much broader discussion on why people do as they do even if there are better ways (not implying that TB!'s editor is better a priori). Addressing "dull": There are some things in TB!'s UI that need to be done. But shouldn't they have more to do with usability, i.e. customizable tool bars, than taste? The only programme on which I use those non-dull skins is Winamp. But that is only used once or twice a year when I don't want to fire up bigger programmes to hear 10 secs of MP3. Neither GetRight nor Opera gets eye candy on my machine. I prefer "dull", technological looks that are easy to handle. After all I adhere to "form follows function" usability as I use my computer as a working machine (in every sense available). There is a reason behind the basic feature layout in cars (pedals, indicator switch, horn switch, light switches etc.). I personally liked the old French outline specifically for the horn, but most people prefer - for good reason! - the horn to be in the middle of the steering wheel. Renault still puts it on the left switch lever, but now also on the steering wheel (as those stupid little buttons like BMW or Mercedes. Dull is not my problem, OE, may not be dull, but I always have some trouble finding my way in it, as many people have with Eudora or Pegasus. - -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/14 on Windows 95 4.0 67306684 C Arbeit um der Arbeit willen ist gegen die Natur.
