Would be handy if the core could draw the "marching ants" unless there is any particular reason for the front end code needing to do this (I can't think of one, and they look pretty much the same in all OSs). > dragging a hotlist entry shows that something is being moved Would be handy for the core treeview to show where the item is going to be dropped too - a simple line moving between entries would suffice. > In order to make use of desktop filetype sprites for tree icons, the core > would need to be altered to ask the front ends for bitmap structures, > rather than content structures. I'm keen on this idea, using PNGs is a pain as you can't be sure they will look anything like the user's desktop icons. It would also be nice to be able to use favicons, but I suppose that might need to wait for the new cache? Chris
