Initially this new feature just sat there. Now have had several situations were it was just the ticket and
wound up saving a fair amount of work.
The only drawback is that the READONLY in the title bar is way too easy to miss at night on a notebook. Can mix up what version is being used. Something much more dramatic is needed. Say a bar of color the entire width of the program between the Menus and the Toolbar.

Re: Making Throw Away Clone more obvious
I must say I am not a fan of the light blue or of losing vertical screen real estate, will this bar eventually be optional? I love read only mode though, I use it daily.

Re: Making Throw Away Clone more obvious
Don - Numerous gratitude not only for adding this feature but with such alacrity! As one comment refers to the more Throw Away Clone gets used the more useful it becomes.
To the Nay Sayers: if you were getting older and had some vision problems you would recognize the value of this way to differentiate which version you were in.
