Yes I did. And found it reasonably hateful. Maybe with more practice I'd find it less hateful, but the whole menu bar at the top crap just doesn't work for me, and not for focus follow mouse either, which at least for me is completely essential. (Yes I know RISC OS didn't do focus follows mouse by default but it was easily added and worked well. Heck even windows can do it badly.) Cheers, Martin
