End soapbox. Sorry, this is one of those computing things that really gets my goat as a developer.

@crowmag: You're exactly right about the hassle. The one thing that absolutely made want to hit someone was the whole "appearance" nonsense. WTF is that for? Why do we need it? Why not stay with the old "toolbar:" rather than go to "toolbar.appearance"??!?! The new stuff just wasn't compelling enough given the level of change they applied to the syntax

@ArthurDent: I thought that way at first but then I realized that the 0.7x syntax offers a great deal more latitude with borders which can provide a lot of nuance and detail unavailable in the 0.6x syntax. But, to each their own... It did take me some time to develope a set of templates that were accurate and complete and I guess most people just want to start a style without a lot of hassle bc the whole point is that it is both creative and relaxing to do :D

there's a .7 syntax?

I can tell you that I don't use 0.70 syntax for a couple reasons. One is none of the styles I have are .7 so when I make a new one I start with a basis that isn't .7. The other reason is that the .7 changes were unnecessary and more complicated than they needed to be.

could one of the reasons that "nobody is writing 0.70 syntax" folks are using bbStyleMaker - at least as a drafting tool?

I'm too lazy to update my styles, well lazy and I just don't have a whole lot of time I get to just sit down and take a deep breath. =) ..but I don't speak for everyone..

Yknow, i found it really amusing to see the 32 bit version working on 98SE. i also find it just as hilarious that this still runs even on windows 11 machines.

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?

Hi again, friends! So good to c u again, Brian. Karl, the screenies function wasn't broken, just needed approval. I AM moderating, from time to time :) How do u think those newer screenies got up in the first place? :D

uploading works, but uploads always require approval and I don't think any of us are as actively moderating as we did in the past ;-)
