A friend of mine (long Adium and Trillian user) tried Fire 1.9.91 for the first time yesterday. He said that the account editor is not the easiest to figure out, and he suggested that the account editor be changed. He liked the method of editing away messages and suggested the same method for accounts. When I looked at the account window, I agree that it is not the easiest to understand, particularly how to edit an account. I came up with a small mockup of how this could be changed to be much simpler to work with. With this mockup, we loose the ability to log on and off through the account window, but since these actions have equivalent menu items and command keys, I don't see this as much of a loss. In addition, this window is brought up through the menu item that says "Edit Accounts...", so it would make sense that it is an editor. Since I took a screenshot from IB, this is missing a few things. The First column will have the service icon just like the current account window and the Auto will have a checkbox for autologin, just like the current one. Comments? - Graham
