I'm not sure to what you are referring to here but if its the gap between
the container and the scroll bar, I was under the impression that it was
supposed to be there, I think it looks better than totally filling in the
container.  I just wish the slider (the auto-knob variety) had the 3-D
look (see motif sliders).  

Is there a way to use custom imagery for an
auto-knob?  Perhaps a routine that could be called by intuition when the
knob needs to be resized to redo the imagery?  Intuition should still be
able to move it by itself.

Also, i've noticed that pictures on the manuals for the A3000 show 
3-D looking gadgets, but the actual gadgets are just 2-D looking on a 3-D
raised (or depressed when selected) box.  (yes, I read the readme that said
the pictures in the manual might vary from the actual pictures, but I think
the pictures in the manual look better.)  What happened?

Is there an O.S. supported/friendly way to change system gadget imagery?

I don't mean for this to sound like a complaint, I'm really very happy with
WB2.02.  It is a GREAT improvement over WB1.3.
