At debconf I wanted it to be 1 second, so that it would hide pretty much immediately after starting - I intended to use it at the end of my lightning talk with a pre-prepared text string. Now that you made it hide by default when some input is specified, I don't think this is needed. I think 3 seconds would be the best timeout, 5 is a bit too long and 1 is too short. > * Rendering the text underneath the edit widget is actually a feature: > Then the text won’t jump when the edit widget is hidden, which I find > nicer. Have you considered that? Ok, I think the reason I did that was because I got rendering glitches when the edit box covered the text and then got hidden. I suppose making it translucent would be too flashy? :) > BTW, if you want you can use darcs to record and send your patches. I'm not familiar with darcs (only git/svn/cvs), I'll try to remember this next time. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
