As an existing owner of Designer, my only comment is when can I download
the update ? :-)

It looks great; but it is hard to give much more in the way of comments
without actually getting my mitts on it.
Take your time and get it right, from what I have seen so far your first
crack at it should be pretty good.

Caption emulating Eclipse indeed looks good, but inplace frames sux I you
ask me. Its very hard to scroll up and down reading the long pages.
I suggest you still keep "Eclipse caption bar" bitmap, but get rid of the
inframes. Make a regular page and just use html-table to seperate column
textregions. Then its easy to scroll page even in low resolution comps.
