Radio buttons work much more effectively when not only the small dot but the whole text are more obviously together and button like to form a larger target. Careful prelighting in a well designed theme can make this substantially more obvious but perhaps more could be done to make the grouping and exclusivity more obvious as you suggest. -- Alan _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
