ANONYMOUS I'd be glad to tell you how to make it better. 1. (BIG required fix) Make the browser window resizable. I bought a 17 inch PB so I could use the nice big screen. 2. Header Graphic: Gone! Why do I need that? Is it a web site? No its software. The graphic wastes a ton of screen space. 3. Header Buttons: SHould be the standard OS X toolbar, including the ability to hide them using the toolbar button. SHould have the standard options of text only / icon only / icon & text and would be nice to have the option for small icons. 4. Border between the content & then actual window edge: Gone. Brushed metal apps sometimes use the border, but most Aqua apps don't. Just open text edit to see what I mean. Borders accomplish nothing & waste space. 5. "Entry View": OS X Has default widgets for tabs. Those should be used rather than graphics. This feels like a web page to me & makes me uncomfortable. It takes me "out of OS X". I think sometimes software developers want to be "artists" and make pretty things for people to look at rather than keeping people from having to see anything new. I prefer when every app has similar recognizable features & (honestly no offense) don't care much about seeing the developers creativity or personality in an app. 6. "Entry View" again: Would be nice to be able to collapse the header to just the date sent, from field & subject. It takes up so much space as it is. 7. "Entry View" again: Why the use of fields in the "Header Detail" tab? I guess I could see it for the search option, but it makes it impossible to copy complete header text. 8. "List View": Headers use weird titles. Stick with the standard "to, from, subject, date" (date has an E on the end most of the time). Columns usually hi-light when you sort by them, your app does not. It would be far better to see this list view located in a split view above the "Entry View" so that both "screens" are combined into one. (See Apple's Mail.App for example) 9. Tools palate: Not too horrible, but I'd prefer smaller icons & a vertical toolbar option. See Photoshop as an example. 10.
