OH, I understand!
Can I put your text in our Support Forum or could you add the text in our
Support Forum. We collect such messages for our ASA selection and we like it to
have such messages all in one in our own forum.

Martin like it to make nice graphics. In the first steps of the development are
the compatibility more important. With time Martin added new graphic options.

But you have right!
Arena had two grafic problems.

01. Game list (move list)
02. Analyze line

ChessBase have a good game list. The game protocol paper as game list. I like it
a lot on the ChessBase GUI. But to copy this idea is to easy. So we have to
think about it to make the game list a better. The changes in the game list in
Arena 1.09 Beta 9 are very good too!

The analyze line is now perfect for me. The gamelist is much better. I speak
from the layout not from options. The work and all the changes Martin do in the
latest months is really fantastic. Please check the new grafic changes with
Arena 1.09 Beta 9 (to 90% the program is tomorrow available).

Let me look in our memberlist ...
You are not member of Arena Forum :-(
So you can't downlaod the newest version of Arena tomorrow.
Perhaps you send us the member form?

We like it to get a good critic because we have more chances to make it better!

Your word is now very important for me!
Means that I like it to read your comment about the new analyze line with all
the new options.

Best
