These text elements could help to unclutter the interface if used properly.<br>
Like the example provided by Pietro, they could for example help to group<br>
the inputs from which the user need to select one (grouping of options<br>
using tabs is another option, but not always a good one).<br>

I agree, tabbing is always efficient. Just an idea: instead of "tabbing", could the "guisection", or a similar function, stack stuff in a box with slightly, yet distiguishable, different colored background? Along with other stuff in the same tab?</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>I am not sure how this would work with wxPython, maybe possible, but isn't it too complicated? There is still a lot modules which have terrible layout of options and using current possibilities we can improve them. Let's do that first.

Yes, from the manual page the user can find out he/she needs to select one, but I am<br>
convinced that for many it would be beneficial if it also is clear at one<br>
glance from the interface.. similar to how the red asterisk helps the user<br>
to see at one glance which parameters are obligatory.<br>

Note, the "tooltips" pop only when the cursor floats over some descriptive text. Can they also appear when the cursor points directly in an/the input box?</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Yes, I know about it, that shouldn't be too difficult. </div><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span><font color="#888888"><br>
