But there's a lot to do and in my case I gave myself the added burden of trying to squeeze it into a (hopefully) visually accessible UI. It really is the same as MC's current UI, just organized a little differently and with more of each object's properties added to screens. > You have a great eye for GUI and design.

Actually I'm right handed, but I might be left brained according to all the research that's been published over the last 50 or so years?... :-) Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design - E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.tactilemedia.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Jumping together
From: Scott Rossi, "I actually took a stab at doing a front end for MC that started about 4 years ago. The goal was to get better layout capabilities than those provided in the current MC IDE, and keep everything (except the script editor and message box) in a single, small-footprint palette. I only poke my nose into it every few months or so because the time to do something like this is very demanding, but FWIW, some screenshots are available here: http://www.tactilemedia.com/TLE/screenshot_1.jpg http://www.tactilemedia.com/TLE/screenshot_2.jpg http://www.tactilemedia.com/TLE/screenshot_3.jpg"; LOL! That was the first thing I did when I switched from HC! After futzing with Dan Gelder's "Serf", I felt that the best path was MC, but the GUI begged for improvement. An "everthing" palette is still the best course, IMHO. Click a "part" button and ONLY its propreties are displayed. You're right, it's very time consuming. It's a bit like doing brain surgery on yourself... ;-) You have a great eye for GUI and design. What graphic app did you use? BTB, you're left-handed, right?

Developing a front end is a lot of work that will probably provide little return in the long run. Of course it's a great learning project to undertake. I actually took a stab at doing a front end for MC that started about 4 years ago. The goal was to get better layout capabilities than those provided in the current MC IDE, and keep everything (except the script editor and message box) in a single, small-footprint palette.

Jumping together
Those who are long-term Microsoft Windows users might like to think of the jump from Metacard to Runtime Revolution in terms of the jump from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. A breath of fresh air! Although I think that now is the time for there to develop a multiplicity of GUI front-ends on the Metacard engine so we can all feel happy in our xTalking.
