Some developers seem to go out of their way to make their programs difficult to read or understand.
Novelty has its place, without it, we never would have achieved graphics interfaces. However, when applied without the aim of enhancing the user's interaction, it usually results in degradation of the interface, ranging from mild hostility toward the developer's choice of colors, for example, to eye strain and concomitant headaches from trying to read inappropriate fonts. Two of the images illustrate a particularly unusual and particularly bad means of providing dialog resizing capability. The images are too large to include here, so we've provided a separate page to contain them. If you've ever had to struggle with how to provide resizeable dialogs, be sure to check this page out so you can avoid Popkin's technique.
