What Bluefish Needs!!  
Written by Shady3D the 8 Jun 09 at 06:28. New
Bluefish is great if not awesome for writing code, i like it that way and many people do. and i DON'T want WYSIWYG editor, i just want Bluefish appear better, the GUI needs some work and specially the icons, icons need to be better than that.

just make the GUI better, and for me this will be by change the icons to be more appealing, and the properties window to be more better organize and don't have that ugly left tabs.

Solution #2: Auto Detect Language
Written by Shady3D the 8 Jun 09 at 22:20.
another thing that i notices there are two ways to highlight
1. i would specify it manually.
2. the document format that i am using.

so if just when i type it detects what i want even when i put CSS and JavaScript in it; it would highlight them too without affecting the rest of the document.

A WYSYWYG component in bluefish  
Written by MattRogers1982 the 8 May 09 at 10:45. New
Beginner web designers on Linux do not currently have a design program which marries depth of functionality with the ease of use offered by DREAMWEAVER.

A choice has to be made, the designer must either use a more simplistic program in order to gain a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface, or "fly blind" with a purely code based application.

The key benefit of Dreamweaver for windows and Mac users is that it marries the two. I have so far been impressed with bluefish as far as functionality and additional interface features but it still lacks the option to utilise WYSIWYG editing.

Solution #1: Add WYSIWYG functionality to bluefish
Written by MattRogers1982 the 8 May 09 at 10:45.
whilst I accept that this may end up being a programming nightmare (bluefish was not built from the ground up as a visual editing program) it would finally offer LINUX users with an adequate substitute for Dreamweaver.
