Title:
Enhancment request, compact headers on evolution message preview pane
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
Fix Released
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
Operating evolution on modern netbooks is fine, the application is
reponsive and well suited for these netbook machines. However screen
real estate is at a premium given that for the most part the screens
are only 1024x600. They are vertically challenged so to speak.
When message preview pane is enabled, the message header display takes
up about 20% of the available screen real-estate, as it lists 5 lines
of information.
I would be nice to have some control over the format of this display,
allowing the format to be reduced to 2 lines
1) a line showing the from and to addresses.
2) a line showing the subject and date.
A compact header display option would be a great benefit on these
devices which are becoming more and more popular. If somebody wants
to see the full header display they can open the message.
It would also be worth examining the size of the "preferences" screens
as they are often left with the OK/CANCEL/APPLY buttons off the bottom
of the screen, this is particularly noticeable on the account setup
screens, alternatively consider moving all the "action" buttons to the
top of the panels.
This class of device and screen size is exploding in usage, and is
driving a large amount of the adoption of linux as manufactures
attempt to reach the lowest price points by avoiding the use of
licensed products that have fee based licensing terms.
