well i think i answered myself when i said it'd be so easy to implement. so i went ahead and implemented the option for the program to show you common names or scientific names. to keep it organized, it's one universal setting available through the Preference section. It will make the entire program (add fish/add plant/plant catalog/fish catalog) show you the names in either common or scientific names.

the only issue with this, is that a lot of fish have different common names but the same scientific name. for example, if you select bettas while being under scientific names, you're going to get a list of over 10 betta splendens! but the system works anyways, so it stays like that.

to give it a little bit of color, i'm adding a highlight that will show you which field you're currently in. i thought the cursor was easy to lose track of in the catalog forms so now it looks nicer i think. just a little bit of yellow to make my colors not as dull as you said

bump no more feedback guys?

i'm finishing up with the highlight I decided to add. unless i get more feedback, that's my last idea to go into the program. i will dedicate all my time from there on to collect the remaining fish profiles so the program can be released by next friday

UPDATE!!!

I uploaded a new version of the DEMO - this reflects the latest changes to the program...
also uploaded the latest version of the README pdf file for those of you wont dont wanna download the DEMO...

also finished packaging the full/trial version and re-uploaded it for those of you who are testing it. please download it again (using the link i emailed you) and install over old files. run it and let me know.

unless i get any more feedback/comments, I intend to keep this version as final for this Friday's release. i've already begun collecting salty data and should be on schedule for release on friday


guys, even if you're not one of the 5 testers, you can try the demo and shoot ideas by me. i'm burned out! after over 300 hours and nearly 5 months of programming straight, it's difficult to spot even the blatantly obvious problems. so anything you see, send me a suggestion!
