    What's the point in icons so insanely large?
    They're easier to target.

    So what if that means you're lazy? Larger-iconed persons are finding that they suddenly have huge chunks of free time from not having to be so precise in their clicks. Whereas you, Asher, must toil away your days, carefully pinpointing your cursor on just the right location.

      On the other hand, I have less screen to traverse to access all of my icons.

      And since I've been playing FPS games since Wolf3D, I like to think my mouse aim is fairly accurate.

      Also note how I line them all up against he edge of the screen -- Fitts' Law.

          God, Asher, you take all the fun out of GUI design.

            Ditto. All of the icons on the desktop are accessed by keyboard shortcut for me, they're there for the SO's benefit.

            The joys of Human-Computer Interface courses. Some of the profs I have really let loose on OS X on how it chooses to flaunt style over functionality and usability. But, they also bash Windows for lots of usability quirks as well.

            But they all admit that Windows is the least evil of all GUIs consumers have access to.

              Once again Asher ruins a perfectly fun thread.

                    i tried to use objectdock, but it kept messing up with civ. when i moved to the bottom of the screen to scroll the map (where i had object dock), it would pop up. i put it on auto hide, but it still wouldn't leave me alone.

                        I really need to work on it (mainly with the CSS), but I've got the html and whatnot down.
