Hi,
A pop up menu with all the available options when tapping for one second, to have an immediate access. I find Open is the usual option, but I often forget to de-select "delete" or "info", and have to cancell when I just want to open a file.

For best readability with low light, invert colours or ability to override original colours would be splendid.

[iSilo's font management is THE BEST i've seen so far, even better than DocsToGo. FontBucket sucks, letters to wide apart, hard to tell when one word begins/ends...aliasing cranky. With iSilo font convert, i have the beatiful Times NR and Tahoma, Trebuchet, but especially Arial, the best font to read comfortably]

With regards to the first comment, I would like to point out that something very similar already exists. If you tap-and-hold on a document name, in any "mode", then the "Information" screen pops up. The "Information" screen offers an "Open" button.


With regards to the second comment, I find the Khroma (http://wsp3.wspice.com/~bbhack/khromagen.html) utility to be helpful. I have defined a 2Tone scheme to mimic reverse video that takes place system wide. However, this option isn't perfect.

If present, iSilo will override the Khroma options with document-specified colors. The "Color" property of the document allows you to ignore document-specified colors, but this may not be a valid option (depending on the document). As an example, you may wish to view colorized source code which uses very dark colors and/or explicitly specifies the "default" color (e.g., black). A true reverse-video option, which I believe is available on the Palm Reader, would solve this problem wonderfully.



With regards to the third comment, I agree. :-D

I like Tahoma and Trebuchet as well, but Arial Narrow is a very good font, too -- particularly for documents with tables.
