Still plugging away on 3.7
I'm still plugging away on the 3.7 release - it looks stable to me now, but I've had a couple of bug reports that I'd like to follow up on before I push it out the door (you can grab the existing build by following the dev links on the BottomFeeder site). One thing I have done is gone through and addressed a lot of UI layout issues. many of the existing utility screens looked very odd if you resized them, or had limits on their maximum size. I've addressed those issues (not necessarily perfectly, but I think the screens resize rationally now). It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be - there are two great posts from Vassili on this:
Those posts were invaluable to me in making adjustments.

Jim,
The new larger/smaller font size tool buttons are handy, but shouldn't they be more persistent? For example, my old eyes like a bigger font, but I have to hit the "larger" button for every item. I tried changing the "text size" setting to Large, but this changes the size of the text in the tree, the item list, labels, etc -- which I prefer to have small -- rather than the size of the item text.
Anyway, I'd rather have the WS item text size as a persistent setting, but having the tool buttons for temporary changes (scoped to an item) isn't a bad idea either.

The latest build addressed that issue. The size setting now "sticks" - I had to catch another event coming from the browser pane to do that properly. As well, you can now clear the size setting from the "StyleSheets" menu.
