It's quite disappointing to see how little feedback you guys are getting. I won't be using Xart (my Xara software is OLD), but still it's fun to watch the progress.

Your colour pallettes are too bold for my liking Frances and the beige background isn't my favourite. Sorry.

The bar on the slider shouldn't be colour-coded, in my opinion.

I was quite impressed by the original cog - it reminded me of a menu interface that I made in Flash many years ago. I remember the Kai Krause interfaces of old. The real question for me is whether it's wise to make the interface very different from the main software.

In that vein Riks offering in the style of the main app, is where I would see this.

Have fun with your new toy, but surely more people can voice an opinion?
