        Thom, what kind of cookies? And failing the cookies, what kind of beer? I've been trying to track down some Nøgne Ø over here with little luck.

          When it comes to cookies and beer and pretty omnivore.
          Though cookies that often rank high has chocolate in them.
          As for beer, I drink mostly anything except white/blond beer. In fact - it's a particular hobby of mine to sample new brands of beer. I often go by the name or illustration on the bottle.

          I remember sampling that - though I have trouble recalling my verdict...
          I just got myself a book with index of beer from around the world, going to write up my notes as I traverse the pages. 😄

            I had one bottle of Ø awhile back. the label isn't much to go on but I liked it. I also liked the fact the bottle's contents would actually fill a English pint glass which most american beers won't. I read somewhere that Nøgne was ranked very highly as Norwegian brews go. Come visit me and I'll set you up with some Sprecher's and some Summit.

            As to cookies, hmmm...chocolate I can do.

              I find Norway to be a poor beer country. Hard to come by a pub/bar that sells any interesting beer types. Normally they all serve the same three brands. 😞 I was spoiled while I lived in England. But I have my sources. 😉

                I suppose you are right. When we were doing the Coastal Steamer cruise in 2000, there were some other Americans whose main reason for the cruise was to drink as much beer in as many pubs/bars as they could and they'd bring back the glasses. I think brought home more glass than clothes. Even if the ship was in a port for 30 minutes, they'd be off to find a pub.

                  I prefer to actually be in a state where I enjoy my beer. Never been a fan of pumping down the drinks as quickly as possible.

                        Afraid not, we have very little control over the toolbars. We can create them, add items, and hide/show them. Nothing we can do to move it around.
                        What's more annoying is that just creating it, but not showing it is enough to make stuff shuffle around.

                        If you resize the toolbar into a vertical size before you dock it then it should take on the same shape.

                          thomas: respect! the UI is very effective yet simple - a beauty

                          and of course - I like the plugin itself too 😄 😄

                          thanks for this precious piece

                          p.s. I wonder if you would allow me to re-use some of your webdialog design elements (css, buttons, etc.) in my own plugins?

                            Yes.
                            I've tried to make it so the UI controls's styles are based on class names. So for buttons you assign a class="button" to the HTML element. Something I was planning on mentioning in the Plugin Manager SDK. I'll be using PM to build up a library of different HTML UI controls.
                            In the CSS folder of PM you'll also find a window.css file, which is using windows system colours. Though, it's old as I moved away from trying to emulate windows.

                              thanks! if more ruby authors adopt this we could get a nice consistent UI across many plugins - looking forward to the future (and of course custom .css creating = "skins" for all the plugins at once)

                                Yes, I've been thinking about allowing the user to select UI themes, and toolbar themes. Though it did not make it into this release.

                                    V2.0 is spanking! Tom this is an amazingly useful tool probably my favourite in terms of how it is implemented. A lot of thought have gone into the user interface. Thanks! I can't believe it is free.

                                          have you considered adding selection sets to your tool! ☀

                                            Maybe. Could you describe how you'd be using it? This probably can be implemented in various way - be nice to hear what people prefer.
