Hi, Karl,
I noticed that there were tool tips popping up on the Sugar icons, that would be nice on the etoys menu bar.
I'm adding balloon help. I thought I would follow the Sugar's convension and do the rectangular pop-ups, but there was wise voice: "In Sugar, some things show extra buttons and some things show mere help. The problem is that both of them look the same. Even they will realize it is a bad idea if they get some time to think about it." So, I'm taking an easier way so far and just do the balloon help.
The icon you use for selecting language is very similar to the icon used for web browser in the Sugar bar.
I'm not sure if you are looking at the version I published yesterday. In that version, the icon looks like staggered flags (though only top-most one is really visible and it does look like the browser's icon.)
I think a miniature flag for each language could be nice, maybe have it change from a grey and white to a color one on mouseover ?
Well. the graphic of a miniature flag for each language would be hard to make. (And, can get too political, if you think about it.) In regards to color, it would make less sense if only one button does the color change.
Could we have the trashcan in the menubar too?
Hmm. And if we do, would we keep the trashcan morph?
