Image Buttons
- Modify the class idvi.split.NavigationPanel to use an ImageButton class
for the navigation buttons. The current panel looks bad on a Macintosh
because the button style is so different; ImageButtons would fix this.
It is also unclear to many people that + and - have to do with magnification,
and the ? button doesn't jump out at people. I want people to visit the help
page and see the tips that are there!
- Design some good looking buttons. Probably a Photoshop-style magnifying
glass with + or - for the scale buttons, and buttons similar to the Netscape
back and forward buttons for the page buttons.
- Figure out where to put the button images. Probably the best thing is to
store them as encoded strings in the NavigationPanel class, and write an
ImageButton class which takes a string and decodes its image from the string.
Otherwise we need to add image files to the distribution, and install them
somewhere, and find them from the applet -- too many things can go wrong.
