| The Motif 3-D look is really snazzy. For me, at least, it also required no
tweaking to get it that way.

| It's a lot easier to resize windows with MOTIF.

| I like the way that pull-down menus stick around if you lift up on the mouse
key.

| The root menu and icon menu stuff is nice. Now I just have to work out the
customizations I want.....

| 3603.6 | Good idea Paul... kudos where deserved! | DSSDEV::BIBEAULT | Grizzly Bear | Wed Nov 07 1990 16:23 | 6 |

As mentioned elsewhere, I like the way the Motif objects automatically
generate suitable colors given a background color specification. Really
sharp!

I like the color mix widget. It's a lot of fun to play with, and easy to
use. (The earth tones "menu" could use some improvement, but you gotta start
somewhere).

| 3603.8 | no more clipped menus | PSW::WINALSKI | Careful with that VAX, Eugene | Wed Nov 07 1990 16:44 | 8 |
| Under XUI, pull-downs and pull-rights could run off the right edge of the
screen, if your window was too close to the right. I'm glad to see that
Motif is smart enough to make sure that a pull-down or pull-right menu is always
entirely on the screen.

P.S. - I second Andy's kudos for root menus.

| Re .8: out of curiosity (I don't have V3 yet) what does Motif do with
pulldowns that are longer than the screen is high???

| RE: pulldowns longer than screen is high
Dunno. I'll have to program one up and find out.

| 3603.11 | they clip | DECWIN::JACKIE | news() { *Iraq+=*Kuwait; free(Kuwait); num_countries--; } | Fri Nov 09 1990 09:42 | 5 |
| At Connectathon, I saw this on a PC server, and it clipped.
However, if you have a menu at the bottom of the screen and the
pulldown is too long, if there is room above it it pulls up.

| 3603.12 | I like the new session manager | LENO::GRIER | mjg's holistic computing agency | Fri Nov 09 1990 13:34 | 8 |
| DW V3 won't display on my EWS server, but I was using it on a colleague's
FireFox where I installed it, and I like the new session manager a lot.
It's strange when you're used to the old one, but the enhanced
cusomizability and integration with FileVue is great.
Now if FileVue were only fast on anything less than a 6-VUP machine...

| 3603.13 | New File Widget | WOOK::LEE | Wook... Like 'Book' with a 'W' | Fri Nov 09 1990 23:35 | 4 |
| I like the new file selection widget. I've been wanting to navigate
directories ever since I started using DECwindows.
