Correct, it's not perfect but the feedback I got after the first edition was that it's less confusing than classic for newbies, and I think that's probably right. > However, in this context it might be hard for newcomers to understand what > do you mean by „open” and „closed” tiddlers.

I tried to liken it there to the tabs in your browser...you can't see them (except in the list of tabs), but they are still clearly "open" in some meaningful sense. Also, can you point me to where I was talking about "open" and "closed" tiddlers? I might be able to clarify things there. > To tell the truth, in zoomin mode it is pretty useless to look at the > "open" tab in the sidebar.

It's still by far the fastest way to jump between all the stuff you've been looking at recently. Thank you for including an „Outline” tiddler and a conventional, > hierarchical Table of Contents.

I agree that that table is not all that useful, but I think that's more because the reference documentation for something like TW is challenging to divide into a useful hierarchy. For a textbook, it's much easier because I can come up with an opinionated order in which the reader can proceed through the book…but that's not so useful for tiddlywiki.com where the primary use case is people stopping in to look something up. > Finally, I'm not sure if it's only me, but the internal links have the > same color as the body text.

I embedded the fonts and used only standard CSS colors and hex codes, so it *shouldn't* look any different on your machine and it's definitely different on mine in both light and dark mode. The contrast between the link color and the text color is a little low, though, especially in dark mode, so I can see how if your monitor isn't adjusted quite right, it would be hard to see. That's something I might look into in the future (that's the fault of the TW palette, not my design, but still my problem!). I'm also red-green colorblind, so might not see things the same…but that wouldn't cause any contrast difference between blue and black. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
