[RLH] I saw this when reading up in a Vista blog. It is a "task" dialog that presents choices to the user in a more intuitive and verbose way:

I thought it was a neat idea and so I put it here to share and to remind myself about it.

[schlenk] Looks nice, something like it would be a good thing for tklib.

[Bryan Oakley] That is arguable. User interfaces should have what are termed "affordances". That is, if there's something you can click, it should look like something you should click. Those things don't look like buttons (unless all Vista buttons look that way). Still, it's better than some alternatives I've seen.

[RLH] True, they don't look like buttons. I was more liking the "idea" of the way it presents stuff to the user in a clear manner. I think they "act" like big buttons. Probably a better paradigm could be thought of but I was looking at the presentation of the information more than the function.

[RS] Do they get button appearance on mouse over? This is a trend I witness even in this IE 5.00, and more so on more recent Win XP. At least one can easily check affordance with that...
