It's seems that there were more people who liked the dancing icons
than those who didn't. Unfortunately, the programmers are quick to
satisfy those who complain about a change rather than wait a bit to
get a consensus of how the majority feel about the change.

Strange, but the icons never danced for me. Could there be a Windows setting
that suppresses such movement? I turn off all Windows sounds and most special
effects. And I agree that the programmers jumped the gun in turning off
something that most seem to like before looking at alternatives.

You do not say which version you are using, nor which Icons you were looking
at?

I've used practically every version of Legacy in the last 10 years. I'm an
early adopter of everything and always upgrade to the latest. As far as the
icons, I never noticed any dancing of any icon on any screen in the
application. I can't go back and check in specific version of Legacy now
It was the previous version 7.5.0.98 and they were only dancing on
the Individual's Informatin and Marriage Information window when you
moved your mouse pointer over them.
It was a slight jiggle - nothing like what you see on a Mac!

After the upgrade to .98, the icons in the data entry box would would move
about 5 to 8 pixels when you moused over them and then move back when you
moused out. This would include the Notes icon, the Spouse icon, AKA icon and
the rest.

I really liked the dancing icons. I have some vision issues also and have HATED
the pale gray of the unused icons. Could the programmers at least outline them
on black in place of gray? That would at least give a little more contrast.

Laura,
I might agree that the movement was a bit too much, but it does seem as
though the principle was favoured by a majority of the users who commented.
These days accessibilty for people who have disabilities, including eyesight
problems (and I have had some of these myself) is most important
I have multiple vision problems and found the jumping around to be not only
extremely distracting and making it MUCH harder to focus and read!

Hi again everyone. Can some of you share with me what names or titles you
use for the following as custom events?
Hobbies
Interests
Causes
Famous Persons
I want to be specific enough without getting too many separately-named
custom events on the database, unless they are needed, so that's my

the icons move about 2mm and the mouse doesn't need to be
repositioned.** Is it a screen resolution thing?
