I also found Ayttm to be very confusing when it comes to adding contacts. It's all very logical when you think it through, but thinking it through was non-trivial for me. I think adding tooltips as Fatman suggested is a very good idea, but I think it would be better to also have popup help boxes like MS Windows & KDE provide via the ? button in the titlebar. I'm not suggesting you make Ayttm reliant on a feature provided by some dektop environments, (I couldn't use it if you did ;), I'd use a tiny button with an icon (say, a white 'i' on a blue circle) next to each item that has an associated help popup. -- Ethan Grammatikidis ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
