Good plan for the footer bar, then. I like it. I like the general 3 parts ( left, middle, right ) of the footer +--------------------------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+ | Color actual/previous preview status | Tool status | Layer Status ( name?) | | Color selection ( call docker ) | Tool options ( call docker ) | Layer button ( call docker ) | | Color bookmark | Tool helps sentences | Layer picker | | Color picking | Brush bookmark | | +--------------------------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+ I'm curious about the 'interactive brush setting' , and really like the idea to plug on the footerbar a set of favorite brushes. A footer-bar like this for sure will make me call dockers less often, and profit of full width of my screen.
More vague plan: I also want to junk the dropdowns for brush and colour > selection, replacing them with an improved footer bar. Thoughts? > I wouldn't be sad to see them gone. I don't like/use this dropdowns, I prefer the buttons on top-right "toggling visible/hidden a dockers" when those one re-appeared with the last position. _____________________ http://www.davidrevoy.com 2014-06-16 13:33 GMT+02:00 Andrew Chadwick <[email protected]>: > On Monday, 2 June 2014, David Revoy <[email protected]> wrote: > >> *4.
