Screenshot with and without button
Dear LibreOffice Programmers,
Can we please have an option to disable the annoying floating "Full-Screen"
button. The button is a nuisance for all but the most notice computer user. For
many other programs such as graphic editors and video players, we routinely
expect the user to press "Esc" to change from a full-screen mode, and I feel
that it is safe to offer the user an option setting to do so.
I have written over 310,000 words in Writer, and I like it very much. I usually
write in full screen, and the annoying button is always in the way, like to a
fly on a hot summer day.
Given how people think, we tend to think of a foreground button as something
that needs attention, which it does not.
Given how we think graphically, adding a single button in the middle of the
screen breaks up the screen into ordinate areas, which is bad for the user.
Docking the button takes a line or two of text, and on a netbook or a mobile
computer that's too much space for something that should come from our
instinct. Trapped? Press escape.
Sometimes less UI is more. When I write, all I want to see are the words and
the page.
Please put in an option to remove this vestigial OpenOffice quagmire.
Thank you,
Brenda
