But of course a refresh would be good anyway.
I also think the normal style scroll elements, and also the drop down arrow for the new language selection don't look too good with our nice mostly blue color scheme. It would be better to find an alternative for these. This being said, when I looked into this a year or so ago, nothing relatively simple emerged. But...maybe things have changed. > >> For example, if we are worried about the length of text on the right, >> then maybe can can have a three column design, rather than a two >> column design?

Also, I love the idea of the new language selection as well, but now wonder if we could move placement of the search under this new option instead of the horizontal placement that is now occurring. We have some good functionality now, but basically need to work on styling. > > Marcus > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved." -- George MacDonald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
