HORRIBLE design!!!! pictures are meaningless to users. You have a dialog
full of push buttons or whatever with nothing but pictures on them and I
would blow my brains out before using that app. I don't want to have to
mouse over every control to find the one I need or have to memorize what all
your pictures mean. Also, your program can now never be used by a government
employee or a handicapped person.

Tooltips should be used as an AID, not a CRUTCH.
