First sorry for the somewhat clumsy way of replying (I'm not on the list and have to manually cut-and-paste from the web site ;-). Anyways - what I was referring to here was the look of the *in-text* buttons which serve as placeholders for a citation or a note. At least in my version (1.4pre3, qt gui) they are *not* regular widgets from the toolkit (the themeability of which I know full well) but poorly drawn somewhat motify (which is why they weren't that bad in the non-qt version) copies which naturally don't follow the theme of the toolkit. I know that you can adjust the color of the four edges and the background, alas that doesn't really improve the looks. I think they should either be real buttons (following the theme and all) or no buttons at all, e.g. just colored areas (would fit in with the boxes around formulae and expanded notes/comments). Just for the records - in general I think the qt interface is really nice. -- Martin Hinsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] +31 50 363 8097 CEES Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies Biologisch Centrum Kerklaan 30 Postbus 14 9750 AA Haren
