Hi
Key stroke (key bindings) are very useful. particularly on lap tops although
not so important on desktops where a mouse works well.
The biggest problems we have with key bindings is twofold, the number with
duplicate functions and the use of non USA keyboards. Check through the help

I should have added that keystroke equivalents give both
ease of learning for the beginner via the menus, and
good (perhaps the best possible) facile and fine-tuned control for the
experienced users and astronomers.

Hi Tom,
It is the keystroke equivalents that are magic.
The menus after a while are just a help display.
Sub-menus can be used to make things fit on a small display.

If you feel you can take on the comet rendering, please do. The second one
you mention is fine as well. It comes down to your abilities with OpenGL,
and then the modeling of either phenomena.

The subject of comet rendering is another wishlist item that has been brought
up many times in the past and usually consigned to the "too Hard" basket
Providing a meaning full 3D display would be an immense task due to the nature
of comets and their changing form as they approach the Sun.

Hi Bogdan
The issue of DSO displays has been around for some time.
The initial work was done about version 0.7.1 I think when Fabien was first
working on the DSS display.
There was an extra button on a prototype GUI F4 menu in version 0.10.? that
allowed the selection of image sources (visible

Hi Ed,
I'm not convinced that replacing the nebula sliders with a drop-down
menu would be more intuitive although I'm no expert on GUI design.
Bear in mind that non-numerical information needs translations unless
you use icons, potentially causing layout problems. Also drop-down
menus wouldn't fit
I'm suggesting no advanced user section and no plugin GUI.
Seems to me that there is a better way to do this and more.

Hi Thomas and Brian,
I think the way to do this one, as well as make the user interface both more
facile and intuitive, is with drop-down menus.
I put a draft of my idea at takken.us/stellarium, but need to do more to
explain it.
I suggest that the present slide bars are an encumbrance for the

I think the ideal way ahead would be to add an advanced user section.
Something like a hidden interface that is folded by default.
Someone who really needs the extra interface can unfold it and click the
additional button.
Perhaps like the under the hood section on chrome.

So going forward, it sounds like the options are:
1.) Change the main GUI and NebulaMgr/Nebula code (no)
2.) Add a plugin GUI and change the NebulaMgr/Nebula code
3.) Add a plugin duplicating the NebulaMgr/Nebula code
4.) Adjust the plugin code interface. Would still have to change nebulaMgr
