Neat! :)

Got that! That's nice

Ok, if you're saying so, fine by me! :)

The idea of Marco is nice and is probably one of the few ways of arranging
this list: "having a list of toggle buttons that permits to check an
arbitrary number of categories?" Maybe laying next do the search box, above
the applets list?!

Well, I would just need a visual confirmation that what is on my mind is the
same of what is on your mind and on Ivan's and everybody else's mind.
Sometimes the words just can't describe everything that's our mind, right?!
:)
Mocks of these new ideas for the new PAB have to be done so that the work
comes out exactly like everyone expects! So, can anyone provide me some
sketches or mockups ?! Please?! :)
