Re: 5.1 UI feedback

 

Hey Jeff,

Attached are the updated screen shots.  Everything look good except now
the text in the dialog button sizers is too small (at least for my old
eyes).  On windows, the stock control text seems to be the best size.  I
also noticed in the text in the read only grid in track and via
properties dialog also is too big.  I think I saw another dialog where
this was the case as well.

Cheers,

Wayne
