Hi,

Thanks for taking time to have a look at the screenshots. This new design is 
committed so you also can try it "live".

yes

This design I use is based on a German software one of my kid has. You choose 
one action, the rest is disabled then you have another choice among those who 
are enabled and so on. Like the "pages" of the wizard except you don't click 
on Next.

I did not use the wizard style because I thought it would be too "heavy". I 
see a wizard widget as a "one time" dialog (like settings in KDevelop) and in 
KLatin, the user should use the setting dialog each time KLatin runs.
But I will try it because it's true that the actual dialog is too crowded! 
I am glad to get any suggestion and to give it a go. I'll post the new 
screenshots asap (hope to be able to do it before I move which is the 28th 
June and I'll be without a connection until 1st August)

KHangMan new GUI is to be credited to Whitehawk Stormchaser as he took 
KHangMan over to maintain it :) He did a great job with a much clearer 
interface and the kid/adult look.
KLettres is really better with the 2 looks, I must have session management 
for it now. Russian language should be added soon.
