Why is Konfabulator "Pretty?"

[Chipp Walters]

Well Bill, sometimes you just need to dig a bit. While natively, RR 
doesn't support many of the features, there are tools which do, and most 
of them are free. Hope the following helps (see below)..

Check out altMenuStack, a plugin for Rev I wrote which automates the 
creation of menus with icons:

altBuddyStack shows how windows can 'snap' together:

altHTML plugin allows you to quickly set links for text:

>>>Property grids.   Status strips.

altFldHeader give you the ability to allow your users to drag columns 
left and right:

Ken Ray just offered up a great script for this in the MetaCard forum. 
Perhaps he'll share it here? Also revGoURL will launch a browser and the 
page.
