thanks Alan sorry to all for not respecting your rules, I'll make an effort to follow them. I have an image I would like you all to see as an exemple of what I was saign, where can I put it since here we only can use 40kb? I also would like to sugest that the text boxes that appear when the mouse goes over an icon couls pass to the top right of the screen since is not a very used place in the majoraty of the desktop environments ant would make it easier since the presente ones (over the icon) can be a bit confusing. My picture points that out.... Josue _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
