Hi, that's all OK. I just wanted to point out that fragmenting the developer community in a group using VID, one using DVI and the next using IDV will decrease the community power. If we all concentrate on one goal it's better. This doesn't mean that VID shouldn't be expanded etc. it has to! Here in Germany we have a saying like: If you try to catch two rabbits the chance it big you won't catch any. Adding new styles to VID is perfect, creating a complete new general GUI dialect that's not compatible with VID... I don't know if it's that useful to spend time with this. Robert
