And the font dialog, for the most part :).

And unfortunately, my laptop has not been with me for the past week.
Hopefully it should be back to me today, or so Dell tells me.

Right. If you have *any* problems with building, or any questions, please,
feel free to ask.

Which reminds me. Just for kicks, i changed the scrollbars completely,
using a BScrollView, and while it worked *much* better, i could still get
the main problem i had with the way we were doing it (the "I don't think
i feel like not scrolling anymore", and the "You've gone so far, i think
i'll pretend you wrapped around0, to occur.
It was *very* odd to me. It implies we are screwing the actual
calculations of where we are and whatnot.
So i reverted to the old way since the new way wasn't better, and am
actively working on fixing it.

Please, for the love of god, do a dialog if possible. The reference images
are in CVS. If someone designs them, i'll hook them up (if they don't want
to).
Other than that, we are doing pretty well.

I read the list every few minutes, so it might be a better place.
