One thing I never understood about the Leo GUI : Why is the tab bar with the open files right below the title bar, but above the menu bar and the tool bar?
Imagine a car where the accelerator and the brake were switched. In almost every other application (I know of) the order is: title bar menu bar tool bar breadcrumbs (if used) tab bar (if used) An application that exemplifies this order very well is PyCharm. Like Leo it has an outline structure and several resizeable panes, each with multiple tabs for open files and functions. This order implies a natural hierarchy and reflects some of the paramount principles of GUI design: - Don't surprise the user. - Utilize prior knowledge.
