I'm sure everybody here has seen those "Tip of the day" pop-ups that many apps have, where the user is shown some random bit of information about what they can do with the app. And then there are buttons for "See Next" and "Stop Showing These on Startup" actions.
I think that JSL could benefit from something like this. I'm willing to write it, but I won't be able to get to it immediately. If someone else wants to do it, that's fine. But I wanted to discuss how we should manage the tips. It would be nice to be able to color/bolden/italicize/underline different sections of text for emphasis. My guess is that Java includes some kind of HTML viewer panel, but I'm not sure. If it does, then we could just store all of the tips as HTML. If we did that, would we want to store all of the tips as strings within the class file that handles displaying them? Or do we want to keep them in a separate file? Do we want to support images?
