FWIW, this is a standard feature in OSX (well, the developer can choose whether or not to enable it, anyway). You get a little button in the titlebar that shows/hides the whole toolbar area, with a little slidey animation. Can't say I've ever felt the need to use the feature myself, except in one application where I never used the toolbar anyway. So I used the button once to hide the toolbar, and I haven't touched it since :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GNOME Desktop Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
