I merged the best of the GUI paradigms I've been toying with the past month or so. Now each locus has a box with a drop shadow, an icon, and a label. Box shape, color, icon and label can all be specified. Attached is a screenshot. You can see the popup menu (from a right mouse button click) over one of the loci, which is also black because it is selected. Below another locus is a windowlet, which you can show/hide by double-clicking in the box. :-) Jeff -- J.W.
