It's worth bearing in mind that British and US rules on title capitalization are different. 'Automatic Save Every Five Minutes' makes me feel like I'm being shouted out, or at best, e-nun-cia-ted to like I'm a bit slow. The HIG section on Capitalization says to use sentence capitalization for labels and so on. http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design-text-labels.html#layout-capitalization ___________________________________________________________ Switch an email account to Yahoo!
