I posted the latest alpha release of the control browser plug-in that I
talked about
in a previous message (Re: Border screen "artifacts" on dynamically moving
button onWindows).

Feedback will get you the missing features finished.

In brief, you get a hierarchical view of all your controls, with editors for
content, scripts, all the props and a cool custom props browser. Any
property
has it's own menu with all the possible values (color, bool, etc...)

story and screenshots on my site (compared to MC's old control browser)
Note the story is one year old. Imagine if I had had more feedback where
these features could take you today!
