I think any of these non-flipping layouts would be a big improvement. The reason I'm going wider is to keep the common views within mouse-reach when menu opens "up". Below is a reachability comparison. I think the difference in everyday usability would be significant. (Keeping 3d-view close is one of the justifications I hear for today's "flipping" menus) http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=55034 As for the headers, we could just drop them. They are not a very important part of layout waypointing, memory, or everyday usability. They are mostly for new-users to get some idea what the categories are. However, if there isn't enough ontological correctness they confuse more than help. What do you/folks think about this 3 column layout? .. with no headers http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=55036 It's the same as your ordering, except I put Node-Editor with the "main" stuff on the left because I think the compositor is as good a "main view / start-point" as the other things over there. (ignore the kind of nasty extra space below "Editor Type".. it's a byproduct of the current menu code and could be fixed) _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
