Perhaps if the GUI could better indicate the relationship between the selected tool-group and the list of tools below, people would actually have a chance to understand this concept without the need to explain it to them. What I dislike about your mockup is the fact that you overload widgets with functionality using the three mouse-buttons. This hides important functionality and is thus unacceptable for a user interface that is supposed to be as intuitive as possible. Sven
