Hello Kono
I'm not quite sure, whether you here mean the application interface(s)
or the website 'interface'...
Both iText Express and iText Pro 09 do indeed have a real clean
application interface which at first was what cought me to try the OS X
version after having used the old iText 3.x on OS 9.x.
As Doug wrote, the iText Express or iText Pro 09 might be a very good
and somewhat enhanced replacement for TextEdit but with quite a lot of
extra features such as being able to open and read ePub documents and
converting them to other more 'Mac-friendly' text formats as well as the
ability to use both RegEx and OgreKit engines.
Both iText versions /are not/ meant as textprocessors but /text editors/
- yet simple to use and rather powerful towards the more professional
'LightwayText' text editor.
OK, I may be somewhat 'disqualified' here, since I'm the one who make
the Danish translations of both iText Express and iText pro 09.:-) - But
when this said, I still like both versions as I've always liked the old
classic iText 3.x
And Kino, - if you mean the website interface, I can agree a bit to the
claims. Too many colors, yes, - but they only use *1* font family =
Times, which isn't that good reading for visually impaired. - The
problem is here that the colored text are put in as pictures, so you
can't just change or remove colors using a web browser that is able to
do this - such as Firefox, Camino, SeaMonkey or any other Mozilla based
browser. - Safari is completely unable to change any kind of font - or
background - color.:-(
Cheers, Erik Richard
