Well, at least changing it.... TayLayout is still Alpha so perhaps I shouldn't worry so much. The first change would be to shorten methods so that for example: self.colpick2 = self.ALayout.addColorPicker("Background 2", Color.LightBlue, True, 300) self.ALayout.addSpace(False) self.borderoption = self.ALayout.addCheckBox("Draw Border around picture", True, 250)Would become: self.colpick2 = self.ALayout.ColorPicker("Background 2", Color.LightBlue, True, 300) self.ALayout.Space(False) self.borderoption = self.ALayout.CheckBox("Draw Border around picture", True, 250)The second disruptive change would be to make the default when adding a control NOT to start a new row. ...

Something inside me likes to make lists, it's probably got something to do with what what Ro calls "the scale"; the same part of me that likes to keep volume sliders at an even number; my CD collection ordered by genre; and gets irritable at an the sign of a full recycle bin icon in the dock or the small 'unread e-mails number' hovering over the Mail.app icon—sorry I didn't mean that to become a list.
With that in mind, I have a few 'list style' posts in mind, in fact I have a list of them (sorry), so here's the first of what may be described as a series of guilty pleasures: OS X applications I use at home, on a daily basis, to help me get things done. This sort of list seems to be quite popular, so it can't be that bad… can it?
