Message: <blockquote data-quote="bitonti" data-source="post: 321280" data-attributes="member: 6828">etoolsReporting in on etools.  I have to say that I'm disappointed.So much so that I am returning the software.The faults?  The interface is too hard to use!  The panelsare too busy, and rely on too small of a subset of metaphors.The window size maxes out.  I cannot change the font sizes.The monster pictures are poorly shaded, and don't blend inwith their background.  The little ball icon on the lower leftdoesn't do anything when I click it.  There doesn't seem tobe a way to build a database of charater/monster/magicinstances.  How do I build complete encounters?  The statsblock is unformatted!  The interface is sluggish, there is nohover-help, there doesn't seem to be complete text forfeats/skills (maybe that's what the little ball icon is for).  Theredoesn't seem to be a way to customize the colors (a colorblindco-worker of mine would not be able to use this program).That's after about 1/2 hour of use, after which time I stoppedusing the program and decided to return it.Maybe there are paths through the program that address someof my complaints, but without a manual and good integratedhelp, how am I to know how to find them?Overall, I find this to be an amateurish implementation.  I gaveit a 'D', and only reluctantly.  (On the plus side, the effort ispretty vast, and they have packed in a lot of basic capabilities,and I ran into no crashes or overt faults.  But, I've seen andbuilt a lot better software than this.)</blockquote>
