re: Quibbles and bytes
That's why it was only a quibble, Robert ;-)
Seems to me the code would be simpler without the Incredible Disappearing Blurb, but if it's already written, what the hey? Because I've been restricted to compact mode by my monitor's limitations, I only noticed it last night while "reaching past" it for the window sizing buttons on the toolbar, testing Nexus in standard mode in a non-maximized window.
Distracting, yeah - annoying, no. I'll get used to it, n.p. I'll also be escaping from Low Rez Land soon, too (but not from Win98). Can't wait to see how much better the new Zone looks at 1024 or higher...
