I have been persuaded by your eloquent arguments that even the experts may like smaller boxes sometimes :). But is it such a big deal to implement three different detail level modes just for the single-bar interface? I doubt it's much code.
So, we will have the following interfaces: Bar (minimal) - no distinction between never tried and about to be retried Bar (detailed) - shades of orange (or whatever) between yellow (new block, not tried) and red (given up) Detailed - something like Bombe's design, without the log and block-detail panes Very Detailed - Bombe's original design, with the log and block-detail panes as IFRAMEs or real frames Is this to everyone's satisfaction? > > Ian. > > -- > Ian Clarke ian@[freenetproject.org|locut.us|cematics.com] > Latest Project http://cematics.com/kanzi > Personal Homepage http://locut.us/ -- Matthew Toseland toad at amphibian.dyndns.org amphibian at users.sourceforge.net Freenet/Coldstore open source hacker.
