Build 9 has the beginnings of a GUI

Is it supposed to stop broadcasting if mouseover is on? Both buttons were lit up green (on), but I only get broadcasting with mouseover off.

By the way I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the scrolling messages. You did a huge amount of work and believe me, I haven't forgotten.

I don't have a strong opinion yet but I'm inclined to think that the local PC should stop broadcasting outward when its mouse is moused over to a remote.PC. I may be mixed up but think the earlier question was about something else, whether the remote PC should broadcast outward when the local PC's mouse is on the remote's screen and the user is typing on the local keyboard.. The second case (broadcasting at a remove, as it were) could get pretty confusing for people.

What do you think?

Also, since it knows I only have one Mojo'd computer, should it grey out the Mouseover button?

Hmmm.

I think it depends on how Mojo knows you have only one. If it knows because you checked "one PC" on settings, then I think maybe that button should become invisible rather than grayed out. (However I'm thinking of removing that setting from the program to make it as simple as possible.)

If, however, Mojo knows because it hasn't found any PCs to connect to, I think the button should remain working because people who *do* want to mouseover but only have one Mojo running at the moment might want to see if the button is "pushed" or not.

If the button turns gray for two different reasons, (1) the user "unpushed" it and (2) the program did it automatically because no Mojo's are seen at the moment, I think that's bad interface design. A visual indicator should mean one and only one thing imho.

Another issue is inbound mouseover vs. outbound mouseover. Inevitably, some people will want to fine tune it like that. But I don't want to put six buttons on window. Andit could be eight buttons, because eventually I'll probably implement both "broadcast to windows" and "broadcast to PCs."

What do you think?

Freddie, this is looking nice, I will have to try very hard over Christmas not to be tempted into a second PC

Hehe well if you want an excuse to wait, Intel is coming out with new 32 nm cpu's in January. That might be worth waiting for.
