I am not too sure about that... The "green screen" part of it does not
bother me at all... It is the way it is, it has always been like that
and it is hardly going to get any different. What I think is terribly
old fashioned and dated, not to mention ugly, is the set of buttons in
Client Access. Have these changed at all since the very first version of
CA or PCS? Which part of this window looks worse? The black/green part
of it or the buttons just above?

Well, I have yet to find a GUI attempt from IBM (that includes Lotus
products) that does not look severely unattractive, old fashioned,
un-user-friendly, etc...

My point here is just to say that  if buttons, icons and what not are
being added to a Green Screen world, they might as well be well designed
and look good.


Anyone interested in joining the Church of Good Looking Icons and
Buttons in A Green Screen World ?


G4!
