For quite a while now we've been avoiding applet as the most overused word in the world. It is best to choose a more descriptive word, for example rather than having the battery applet, we call it the Battery Monitor. Other names include Clock, Character Picker, Notification Area, Deskbar, Weather Report, etc. I'm not quite sure how to handle this in terms of the style guide. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
