    Until you made this alteration, I was very impressed with both your concept and your app. But hiding things rather like Easter eggs just for a bit of fun, so they aren't easily accessible, is plain daft. Sorry.

    This program is hard enough for people to understand how it works without concealing layers of information behind invisible buttons, without any sort of UI clue that the feature is there. Putting it in the help file just doesn't cut it, I'm afraid.
    "As a programmer.." ??
    You are talking about GUI/application design here. Not programming.
    Programming is a skill at different levels/different technologies (tools/languages..).
    Has really little to do with the layout/design of eg an app like RealTemp.
    I am impressed that a *Real* programmer (pun intended) as Unclewebb is able to make a nice looking app as he certainly have to code "low-level".

    Apart from the above I agree that a GUI should be intiutive and easy for "novice" users.
    But this app is for "Real Geeks".
