On the topic of saving space, I have implemented a patch for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-731 , which hides the menu bar in full screen mode (while letting the user still access it by moving the mouse to the top of the screen). This is standard behavior on MacOS, but not on other platforms.
I'll be testing it for a few days in my own IDE before submitting a pull request. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Christian Lenz <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 7:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AW: AW: (Git) Diff Window horizontal space rescue Hey Emilian, what is the Progress of this Task? I tried NB 9.0 and it is only that you moved the 2 drop downs (diff: Dropdown to: Dropdown) to the lines with the icons. But what About the other suggestions? Cheers Chris Von: Christian Lenz Gesendet: Sonntag, 13.

Sure if you are working with a Docking Station, this is Maybe not a big Problem but if you have your Laptop with your, e.g. on a coding session at a conference, then this is a Problem. I can Show you some other Problems with the UI with NetBeans where a small monitor is a pain in the ass, but this is an other Topic. Cheers Chris Von: Emilian Bold Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

I have no problems exploring ideas even if they never get implemented. Starting from my plan of increasing the vertical space available for actual code in the diff top component, several other ideas were explored: * the fact the even if we make the diff topcomponent float, we still waste space with that tab title (unlike IntelliJ). ** then we went into why the Window System doesn't handle this usecase *** then we went into how this usecase might be implemented and how docking, closing would work ***… except it doesn't need to if people would just buy bigger monitors * that people end up having multiple diff topcomponents open, even for the same group of files and some re-use might help * syncing selection between the git(?) topcomponent and diff --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 10 May 2018 5:20 PM, Neil C Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, 10 May 2018 at 14:25 Emilian Bold [email protected] > > wrote: > > > Not sure why you have to be so adamant about this. > > > > I could add some flag per topcomponent that says 'no-individual-tab'. > > > > Then, if I have a floating window holding that single topcomponent it won't > > > > have the title bar. > > Play nice people! ;-) > > I actually agree with both of you.
