version 3 menu/tool bars

[parkc23]

In the version 3, the menu bar and tool bars seem to take a relatively large space on my small laptop screen. I am aware that they can be shrunken with the small triangle buttons, but it doesn't completely hide them. Is there a way to completely hide them as in version 2.5, so I can use the most of my screen? Thanks.

Hi parkc23,

while I would have to get confirmation of this I do believe that in it's final release it will allow customization like V2.5 does which would include the ability to completely hide tool-bars.

I have noticed the same / related problem with large tool bars/buttons that take too much space.
I see two problems here: one is the icon size and the other excessive border space around everything - icons, buttons, lists. This significantly reduces (in my opinion) the remaining screen area for the page itself.
There may be people with very large display resolutions but even on a 1280x1024 there is little left for the page itself if you have the search pane and the bookmarks pane on.
Please consider an option to at least customize those thinks (icon size, border size)
Thank you!

PS. On a second thought I realize that this change may be touch / Windows 8 friendly. That's fine, but please give us the option to have a touch friendly interface or a display area optimized interface like v2.5 is.

Hi, parkc23, benradu.

In the near future we are planning to allow you the full customization of toolbars and menu.

You will be able to remove/hide unnecessary items and toolbars, like in v2.5. Also we will provide some 'optional' preset configuration toolbars: "For Viewing", "For Editing" etc.

Your patience is appreciated ...

Best
Regards.

I wonder if this is an optical illusion, at least to some extent. When I put Viewer and Editor side by side, the bottom of the first toolbar is almost exactly the same on both. With a 2nd row of toolbars, there is a small difference (maybe 2mm on my 23" 1920x1080 screen). Seems to me that although the toolbars are slightly bigger, the menu bar is smaller.

By the way, have you noticed (as I just have) the tiny arrows to the far right of each toolbar? Lets you squish each one, or all at once. Very nice touch.

As Vasyl designed the UI you are now using - I have no doubt he not only noticed the arrows you mention - but actually put them there ....

LOL Yes I'm sure he is aware of them. I was directing my comment at the OP.

Nice arrows, Vasyl
