Oh, there is a titlebar? Totally unnecessary as a window shouldn't be resizable at all. The current application is always maximized on a PDA (except for dialog boxes).

And mouse-over effects are not possible on a PDA, as you most often don't have a mouse but a touchscreen.

The titlebar I can't remove that easy, because it's what the Qt windowing system provides (well, I probably could remove it, but I'll better leave that to Qt ;-)

You are definitely right on the statusbar issue. I will probably remove it then and implement "pen-overs" as tooltips (so that when you hover over a link the url gets displayed as tooltip, not in the statusbar.

  "Pen-overs" are impossible - the touchscreen doesn't know where the pen is until you tap it. What you describe is implemented as follows in Psion Web: Tap once, link is displayed in a corner of the screen. Tap again, link is followed. These corner messages are Psion's variant of status bars - another great way of saving screen space. Regards,  Gaute Hvoslef Kvalnes
