Thanks Mark. My original mockup now feels a little bit incomplete after seeing the subsequent suggestions, and I personally support Remco's idea of ghost-explanation-text-that-disappears-on-typing, which also has a lot of basis on standard web presentations. > I think the "says:" piece is unnecessary and a little blunt.

Every time I tried a mockup with two text fields in the same menu it ended up so... I don't know... heavy, that it just felt wrong and I ended up giving up sending to the list entirely. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
