Subject: Speaking of GUI innovation...

Look at the neat GUI stuff that Wilhelm does.  Every GUI could learn from
Wilhelm for showing endgame analysis.

If you remember CDB (by Peter Klausler} it would draw these little arrows
showing the possible chess moves.  Now, that (in itself) is not too exciting.
But suppose that the more exciting a move was, the hotter in color the arrow
was.  So (for instance) a new novelty would be white-hot.  A bm or gm preferred
move perhaps yellow-hot.  Maybe the arrow gets thicker for good moves.

Something like that can communicate a lot of information instantly, and nobody
does it.

What are some other GUI innovations that others would like to see?
