Yeah, I know. Ok, I should have been more precise. With "reachable" I meant "easily accesible". The menubar is there, visible, in a standard location and with a standard representation, and all the power of the application is there. Hiding the menubar is like making the toolbars be popups, just because you reduce the number of items in the screen. I think it does not make the interface be clearer. More on the contrary, hide the menubar means you need to find it when you need it. I'm not saying I won't be able to find it, but looks more intuitive to me if it is always there. In fact, the first time I saw Iñaki's work, I thought the locked menu was part of the title window. Btw, I don't want Iñaki to think I don't like his work. I think it's great. I have just a pair of comments because sometimes I am too Macish :) Cheers, Fran. -- Francisco Joaquín Rodríguez Prados Fachbereich Informatik, Fachhochschule Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Appeal mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/appeal
