Sorry for the double post.  I have to say after looking at both Paul's
version have the text in the right place I say this because that was the
first place I looked to the screenshot.  Colours (Colors) attract people
to look there so placing the next there is a great idea.

Only one complaint Paul and it might be my screen resolution but the
text overlapped the bottom line so there was writing over the bottom
line under the screenshot.

I like it though :)
