Hi Morris, I hope you didn't take my comment as a slight of your new creation, because it wasn't meant that way. I understood perfectly what you are describing here when I wrote. I realize that each Master topic is its own No-Brainer index. It's a cool idea. And I like being able to have separate formatting for the master topics. It's something I always wished I could do in NBN but don't see how it can be done except your way. My comment was only meant to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. With your way, the advantage, as I see it, is the formatting, a definite weakness of mine, since whatever CSS is applied to master topics gets applied to the whole index. With my way the advantage is that all the subtopics and notes can be buried under the master topic, whereas your first layer of subtopics for every master topic is always visible, taking up valuable vertical real estate. > The only manual adding is after you've created a new Master Topic is > to insert it into MainMenu.

I too have projects that require a little assembly to make them work well. My comment about it being a drawback is just from experience here, especially with the original TiddlyDu2 creation process, that newbies don't want to have to add anything. So for them it's a drawback. > Please understand they are two different animals and TW Notes is > higher up the food chain :-) In versatility, yes. In simplicity, no. That's why I think having two versions is worth it. Many will appreciate your more nuanced search options, your take on master topics, your gradients, your extra quickedit options, your more complete instructions, etc. Others will want my simplicity, my clean flat spaces and the full collapsibility of my mainmenu. I hope that you don't see my revisions today as competition or oneupmanship. Long ago you came out with the first TW Notes as a tweak of mine. I thought at the time that I needed to incorporate a couple of your changes, and never got to it. Today upon seeing your further improvements, and because a couple things I meant to do today got shot down by circumstances, I found the time and motivation to do what I always meant to do before. So to sum up, once again thanks for the new TW toy under the tree. And have a wonderful Christmas!
