Graphic Tools

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ken,

I just responded to your other email, so this is short. ;-)

It's ok that you don't fully agree, I know I am in a minority here.  
You see I build "Graphical" User Interfaces and most here build  
application interfaces. Most are happy to have a nice looking field  
to enter database queries in and a simple button that looks like it  
belongs in the interface, that is as far as their graphic interests  
go. Not mine though.

I would rather see a bigger palette then that tiny one at the bottom  
of the tools palette. And I didn't really think they were ashamed of  
it but rather they didn't see it as too important, like most on the  
list don't, is all. ;-)

I for one would love to see greater and greater graphics capabilities  
in Rev. (Think Widgets) - ;-) grin........

Thanks for the response,

Tom
