Hmm. Ok. Funny, been like this forever. Tools in the toolbar get disabled,
but not in the toolbox. Fixed for next release.

PageStream calls it the edit palette.

This is still work in progress, but thanks for the note!

Yes, I see that also, but the labels are getting created with
MUII_RequesterBack, which should have the same background as the requester.
It is on my list, but it is something I'll have to get an MUI expert
opinion on.

I think I know what controls that. I'll try and make it work in the next
release.
>- all file requesters still open on workbench!
Dang! I thought I had that fixed!!! It is now. (it was fixed if a document
is already open).
>new document requester:
>- the input field for the page size (pop requester) is "editable".
Should be fixed in the next release. Changed to the mui cycle gadget which
popups etc.

Fixed.

Actually, it is a function that the strings (and MUI gadgets ingeneral)
don't appear to have a way to set a minimum size! I've tried to compensate
for this, but may need some input from a MUI expert. It seems ok now.

Still work in progress.

_Should_ be buttons across the bottom like before...

And it is great to see someone who it works more or less the same as for me.
