Constructive suggestion: Remove the enormous logo from the bottom of the IDE. We all know we are using a product from Excelon, and it occupies valuable screen real-estate, and I have accidentally clicked on that thing so many times that I want to scream every time I do it... :) I understand the marketing concept behind it, but the execution was flawed. I promise if you remove it I will be even more inclined to purchase Excelon products :)

The eXcelon logo you are referring to appears as part of the *free*
promotional version of Stylus we make available to valued customers. In
exchange for a fully-functional version of Stylus with no time expiration,
we ask for this small bit of screen real estate.
If you find it particularly troublesome, the retail version of Stylus
(available for purchase on www.stylusstudio.com) does not have this ad.

Ahhh, I understand.
I was participating in the beta testing of the product from it's inception, and received one of the coolest messages ever offering all of the beta testers who had been active participants in the process a free fully functioning version of the product (I still have a copy of the email message since I thought it was smart way to do business with your beta testers - and build loyalty). I feel it is the best product on the market, and would gladly pay to own it. That said, I would think that the time that the testers spend with the product would be worth removing the logo for that group, but I understand your position as well...
