I think we should > go this route. I disagree. I think Tux Paint should work like other Linux/Windows programs (only with different-*looking* controls). In those programs, the open dialogue have 'Open' and 'Cancel' buttons. Consistency is a good thing! (Back should be renamed 'Cancel', BTW.) >> BTW, the green labels can simply be removed.

But perhaps they should be changed to not look so much like buttons? And we *can* get rid of the 'Colours' label, and increasing the space for the colours buckets. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list Tuxpaint-dev@tux4kids.net http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
