I am pleased to see that the hidden taskbar has been returned.

What are the marks alongside differing bibles?  On mouseover I note that the passages in the popups don't seem to have much relevance to the passages alongside which they stand.

Could we get a single-click launch back?

How about a way to display the contents without having to use the mouse?

    George,

    Do you mean these?

    If so, they are called "Wear Marks." See this post: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/1544/11937.aspx#11937

    As far as "displaying contents without having to use the mouse," what do you mean? You can press alt+d to access the command bar and open a book (or guide or whatever you want). And you can press ctrl+g to access the navigation bar of a particular book/window. Is that what you're talking about, or something else?

    I spoke too soon -- or I should say too inclusively.  The taskbar still does not appear if one has a resource open in reading mode.

    Yes, those are what I meant.  I don't see that they serve any useful purpose.  As I noted, on mouseover the passages that appear seem to have no relationship to the passage under consideration. 

    Your shortcuts don't seem to work for me.  I wish they did.

    One value they serve is when representing search hits. when you see lots of them grouped together you know that lots of search results are in that section, which means there is a good chance that its more then just using the word but actually dealing with it as a topic.

    I love the idea but I need to see a color code chart. Its usefulness should never be outweighed by its ability to distract so I agree with others that one should be able to turn them off.

    The read-wear marks are like automatic bookmarks that "burn in" where you've left the book open. (Think of how a paper book easily opens to pages you've held open a long time.) You can click on them to jump back to where you were before.

    We'll offer control over all the scrollbar marks in a future release.

    I get it now. Not sure why all the cylinders weren't clicking before. In that case I think the gray marks at least are extremely valuable. I would rather have them on then off.
