Why?

Why is it only the Trading window that has a "window"? It the only one with a title bar and therefore the only one you can move.

It actually looks kind of odd with the title bar - doesn't seem to "fit" with the game...but I understand why you need it...so you can see the cost of items on other planets...which probably answers my own question, right?

Actually it wasn´t there with the first release. At that time it moved automatically depending on which planet you just targeted. I thought it was pretty fine trading with that, but some reviewers and some players didn´t like it. So I included it as a moveable window, which meant using this title bar.

I did notice (in the older demo) that it was not obvious whether you could see all the planets in the system - so could not tell pricing on some planets

By the way Niels - great wee game. I'm at work looking forward to going home and continuing my AAR.

If (in the old demo) you would click on a planet close to the trade screen it would switch to the other side. Also you could click (double-click?) on the border of the window and it would switch to the other side. But these days it´s completely moveable as a seperate window now.

Thanks for the praise. I am making games just to provide fun and enjoyment to everyone and it makes me very glad when this happens.
