Hi folks,

I have no real suggestion in the moment, but I want to tell you a little "story": suddenly in an internet cafe, I heard a little child telling his father "please click on the little brown dog, daddy!" - while he pointed at Netscape's "Security" icon.
In my opinion, many toolbar icons (not only in Netscape) are too abstract or in some way ambigous. What do you think about toolbars in special, and about GUI design (for childrens) in general?
OK, I didn't ask this question solely to hear your opinion about
toolbars :-) I'm a KDE (third party) programmer, and I'm working on a project of a "new" programming language, that tries to make GUI programming more easy for every programming newbie, and in fact nearly 20% of the people who wrote me a feedback e-mail told me, that they want to use it to teach their sons (or their little brothers :-)) programming. So I wonder, what I can do to optimize the languages (C-like) syntax for childs. Furthermore I'm looking for people, who are interested in writing a tutorial for childs ;). Please visit http://www.viskprog.org .

Kind regards
Chris

P.S.
Please excuse my low level English ... :-(
