I like the layout of the interface. However, there are things I could do without: The templates -- we do not need all of those structures. However, the JME implementation of functional groups by MolInsipiration is very useful. Also the ability to display the smiles string from an icon as in JME. The rotation is nice; not sure I need the flip horizontal or vertical. Not sure about copy and past to and from the clipboard. Not sure I need the zoom and shrink features. I do not need all the options under the file menu. I am not using this as a drawing program for documents. In fact, for my purposes, I do not need to display all of those options along the top. Most of those are evident in the icons surrounding the drawing window, or can be invoked in parameter tags. I would either use a periodic table icon to select additional (beyond the most frequently used) elements, or us some sort of popup like is used in the menu bar -- not both. Further, for educational use, I would simple have a parameter that allows the teacher to specify the elements to be used for that particular assignment. Those would then be the ones that appear along the bottom. These are just my thoughts. But perhaps they will get the conversation started on what a minimal applet would look like. J.
