Blah, just found some obscure options to make things better.

Still, it would be nicer to go with Illustrator’s mid-size double clicks so we’d have:

* Full Info palette with useless crap
* Normal Info palette with stuff you need
* Collapsed Info palette

So much better! Same goes for typography palettes… for all the hoo hah about integration and common UIs, each app has its own strange idiosyncrasies… and is it just me, or are the new drop-shadowed to hell palette titles ugly as all get out?

The fact that each app STILL has palettes that behave in their own different way is a real indication that Adobe still hasn’t tied everything together properly yet…

I am with you. I also wish all of Adobe’s applications had the sliding palette options of InDesign. Being able to dock them on the slide so only the tabs show until you click them at which time they slide out would be very very nice.

ack… get a new news client! yours totally screws up line lengths and you have to scroll forever!

okay… the new tool titles are not THAT new. Premier Pro has had them for a year… I dont mind them myself, but I’m worried Adobe are heading down the Macromedia route of graphically heavy UIs that "look pretty" but dont actually enhance anything (and slow UI redraws right down). I’m quite happy for a nicer looking application, but not if it slows it down!
