Default Re: Some minor UI gripes

I heartily agree with Leif's suggestiosn, especially for the Dominions effect view : the candles are not that informative - at least they sghould have a number beside them - and the Dom1 shading was very clear.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that instead of a rather clumsy mix of buttons (that obstruct map view), submenus, mouse maneuvers and keys (that are not intuitive), the game would benefit greatly from a simple vanilla top menu bar (File/View/Orders/...) with dropdown submenus that will give new players COMPREHENSIVE info about the available functions/orders/features...

These menus are maybe out of date for games since some time, but if Dom2 could only have an interface as clean as Civ2 it'll be a big step forward ...
