Currently the icons are not so useful, but they'll have useful meaning when this type of manual will be ready (ie. instant bug reporting, and updating to newer versions). > Just compare "good old" chm (old.jpg) > with the "new" one (new.jpg).

The "new" chm is better for now (because > of user notes) Is it just the user notes, you see as added value? Do you think, that clearly separated notes, warnings, see also sections, separation of function properies makes the manual easier to read? Are these all best in the "old" CHM format? > but I hope you'll find a good designer. I hope so :) I am just uploading a newer version. It is much more colorful. You won't like it I am sure. I went ahead with colors and there is no white anywhere anymore... But I am too not a good designer. Many readers said that this new design is cool, but I don't like it too (although I made it).
