Of course it is. Or quite possibly colour blindness (i do not mean that as an insult, red/green colour blindness is not uncommon or anything to be ashamed of). What I'm saying is it would be useful for the quality of XaAES to get some real graphics minded people involved. I'm not saying I am such a person.

How? There's no end user software (that I'm aware of) to create any. Poking around in c files is not an option. And again, I'm not a graphics guy either. But I do care how stuff looks.

That's cool :-) But dhs.nu is a website, not an AES...
So for now my solution is to use MyAes. It simply looks great - and the way it handles winframes kicks ass. Maybe that could be a useful source of inspiration for XaAES?
