There's already a ton of graphics available on the Internet.  :o)

Besides, have you looked at FileMaker's own example databases?? Most of
the that I've seen are incredibly ugly (not to mention buggy), so the
last thing we need is FileMaker Inc.'s idea of graphics.

I don't really see a point. It is a database applciation, so if you
want to draw pretty graphics you should be using a graphics
application. Once you start tacking in all these extra features,
software quickly becomes over-bloated.

I can perhaps see some point in things like "mouse over" changes to
button states or similar, but even then databases get too busy and
complicated looking. It's best to keep things relatively simple
(especially if you trying to pass all that imagery over an internet
connection where people may be on slow, dodgey, or data capped plans).

Helpful Harry  :o)
