Hi Rochr I agree that Bryce is the easiest application to use, because of its interface. However that does not mean it can't be improved. The aim of the new interface is to minimise the amount of clicks it takes to acheive something. thankfully, the interface being suggested is by no means a final design. In fact its already going under a lot of changes. Would you suggest leave it the way it is? Coz if we did, it would be limited as far as multiple open documents, and would also limit much of the new features that really need more screen space than 640 x 480 to be used efficiently. But, its comments like yours that are what I am seeking, as well as positive ones too of course. The aim of the site is to get as much feedback from users as possible. The investors paying for this project are going to do with the hope that people buy a copy or upgrade. The best way to make sure people do that, is to offer an application that everyone wants! While its hard to please everyone, I can assure you the interface WILL be tweaked quite a lot, and it will probably be closer to the current Bryce than the current screen shot is now. Also, I can say that the interface will be totally customisable. If you don't want certain parts of the interface visible, you can turn them off. Additionally, you can save your interface settings as a preset, and send them to others so they can work in the same manner you do. This was a feature idea submitted by madmax, and am happy to say it WILL be in the final designs. Rochr, I can tell you now, the interface WILL change. I can also tell you now, that the interface was ALWAYS going to change, even if Corel was to finish their Bryce 6 - I know first hand that the interface had already been altered, before they canned development. Cheers Scott
