[ Intro notes] This isn't so much a "problem", per se, but a matter of
"polish" and integration with the current desktop manager's settings. What
needs to be done will vary based on *settings* in a specific desktop (i.e.
personal settings), as well as desktop specific settings.
What steps will demonstrate the issue?
* Start Xmission-RGUI with default settings.
What is the desired/ideal behavior?
* Behavior consistent with my personal desktop settings.
What do you see instead?
* Behavior consistent with default settings for Windows 95 or Win98 --
"Pre-web".
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
* 5.01 on Win7SP1 x64.
Please provide any additional information below.
I have my desktop settings on Windows(7) set to behave similarly to my browser:
a) Display clickable text 'underlined' and in link color (default:blue).
b) Have the selection (i.e. highlighted text) controlled by hovering over text
(lag time controllable by desktop setting).
c) Use single click to open (or activate) a link or icon. There are 2 places
where such are normally displayed: I) text on the "open display", and II) icon
tray.
From the above, I note that 'C-II' is already (purposely or accidently)
consistent, in that it takes 1 click to open the display.

First GUI dialog:
I would see a radio-selection menu under TRG's settings, copying the structure of ⦅ "Click items as follows: on the "Folder Options" dialog from Explorer (under "Tools->Folder Options...", middle section) ⦆, with a small alteration in wording as such:
Click items as follows:
● S̲ingle-click to open an item (point to select)
● Underline items consistent with my b̲rowser
○ Underline icon titles only when I p̲oint at them
○ D̲ouble-click to open an item (single-click to select)
This allows keeping current behavior, or selecting new behavior. For existing
installations (upgrades), the settings would default to current behavior. For
new installations, I would suggest using whatever defaults the user already has
selected for their desktop -- providing a 'seamless' operational interface
between TRG & the user's desktop.
Final polish: I would *only* make titles that are already 'downloaded'
"linkable" -- i.e. items that are "incomplete" would not be clickable (as they
are not ready-to-play); however, a user could still "right-click"(menu) to get
a menu where they can open the location of the containing folder (if it exists).
Note -- these are all "polish" issues for desktop integration. The minor
negative detail on this is that settings for alternate desktop (especially
referring to platforms like linux), might need custom modules. With that in
mind, it would be good to design the interface with eventual "modularization"
in mind... i.e. everything passed via arguments, result-blocks and call-backs?
With good design, might be able to implement a "fallback" on OS's not having a
unified interface that reads config data out of a file stored in the user's
home dir (e.g. - "~/.transmission-remote-gui-rc" or some such).
Tried to be as detailed as possible for noting the details. Also tried to use
'underlines' in the sample menu above for default accelerator keys (as used on
win), but they don't seem to be centered under the letters they refer to on my
display, but close! ;-)
Thanks for reading...
