Hello and thank you for such a valuable program.<br>
<br>
I have made some enhancements to the XTherion GUI, mainly to facilitate
single-click editing (most editing actions require two or more mouse
clicks without counting scrollbar clicks, while shortcut keys require
that you take your hands off the mouse while tracing a cave sketch with
it).<br>
<br>
Here is a screenshot of how XTherion looks with the changes on winXP:<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
As seen, a toolbar with a number of icons has been added, together with
a few changes to the skin of the Tk widgets. Tk for windows has still
rather ancient looks, but Therion does not deserve this.<br>
<br>
Actually the proper place for the editting icons would rather be under
the "File commands" pane, as a replacement of the various buttons
there, but the auto-scroll feature of the panel makes this pane hide
very often, so putting them there under these circumstances would
defeat the purpose.<br>
<br>
I have also made a number of other icons for XTherion that fit in other
panes and might include them in there if I find a way to stop
autoscrolling and eliminate inactive panes from the panel.<br>
<br>
Of course I will share this code with anyone, if there is interest.<br>
<br>
Forgot to say, I have just completed my first ever cave map with this
wonderful program (that is, I am a newbie in cave surveying).<br>
<br>
Hopefully, I can now be accepted to Plato's Academia ;-)<br>
