To digress somewhat, isn't it about time we made the alternative GUI style
the default? Personally, I've been using it continually since it came out
and now find the legacy default version clunky and particularly
distracting when flying at night.
And while people are still suffering the culture-shock of the new GUI,
let's put "..." at the end of every menu entry that brings up a dialog
box. I submitted a patch to this effect ages ago which would make the FG
GUI much more consistent with other applications, but people found it
strange.
You know it makes sense :)
