Maybe for some. Lots of disadvantages, though. - I don't want my other apps to change their look, too. TB is one of the few I don't like. I like Win2K's clean look as well as that of most other software I use. - I'd rather not waste more disk space and RAM on running Windowblinds. Both are precious on my system to begin with. - It's shareware. Which means shelling out more money for essentially one program. AM> So I think with the ability to change the glyphs, there's no need to ask AM> Ritlabs to make things spiffy. Just use something like WindowBlinds. I'd have to disagree with that. Relying on complaints being addressed by a third party is not the way to go. Especially if it means the customer will have to pay more money and change the look of their *whole* system, when it is only your app that is problematic. When asking new users to try TB, you'll have to go with the "Oh, you have to buy Windowblinds as well to make it look decent. Which may cause problems with other parts of your system. Another $20 please." argument. I don't think that would go down very well :) AM> TB!'s interface strength is with it's layout. It's very nice and usable. Ok, here I have to disagree STRONGLY :) The last thing it is, is usable. The second last is nice. To each their own though. And once you get used to it, it does become easier to use. I wish they collaborated with Slaven (pocomail's author) on UI design though. The combination would be fantastic.
