Re: [Qgis-developer] Toolbar and Panel defaults
So it is possible to get the toolbar inside the map canvas area by changing the central widget to a QMainWindow and adding the toolbar to that. So you end up with: QMainWindow (QGIS Main Window) - QWidget (CentralWidget) -- QLayout QMainWindow -- QToolbar -- MapCavnas http://i.imgur.com/85ggkiF.png However you loss the ability to dock out side of the map canvas, and there is a strange rendering issue with the toolbar. It could work with some magic but I think it would be pretty hacky. On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 9:33 AM, Pirmin Kalberer wrote: > Hi Larry, Nathan, > > Am Mittwoch, 10.

Don't agree. I can't see this getting removed and if they were it would hurt user experience more the help it I feel. I'm an experienced user and I use the toolbar all the time, it's faster then navigating a menu which is why they are there. - Nathan ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
Re: [Qgis-developer] Toolbar and Panel defaults
Hi guys, I agree with Antonio on both counts. With the layers panel on the left it seems more natural to have the navigation toolbar on the right side of the window. And yes, if it is possible to have a titlebar on floating toolbars that would make it much easier to close toolbars you don't want (sometimes it isn't at all obvious which toolbar you are looking at, so you have to go through turning them on and off one at a time until you find the right one). Also, I think this has been suggested previously, but personally I don't think the File or the Manage Layers toolbars should be on by default. They aren't like some of the other toolbars which you need to frequently switch between different tools, they contain functions which users naturally look for in the right place in the menu, and in the case of the Manage Layers toolbar I suspect that even for experienced users it is much faster to find the right tool in the layer menu than it is to figure out which icon in the toolbar is the one they want.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Toolbar and Panel defaults
I think on the right is fine. To me that feels better that all the way over on the left. It's a real bugger that we can't make Qt dock the toolbars inside something else, seems you are constrained to QMainWindow. - Nathan On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 9:05 AM, Larry Shaffer wrote: > Hi Nathan, > > On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 4:51 PM, Nathan Woodrow wrote: > >> Having the nav toolbar on the side would be ideal if you could dock it on >> the right side of the layers panel.

What about the Navigation toolbar on the right, with the Plugin toolbar filling the empty space at right on the first row of horizontal toolbars? Here's my reasoning. Nav tools are quickly accessible, and when a new user downloads/installs a plugin, there is already space to show it (assuming that plugin loads a tool button into the Plugins toolbar). Then the user can move toolbars to their liking. Any other ideas?

Re: [Qgis-developer] Toolbar and Panel defaults
Having the nav toolbar on the side would be ideal if you could dock it on the right side of the layers panel. I'm not a fan of having to go all the way over the layer panel to access the navigation tools. - Nathan On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 8:49 AM, Larry Shaffer wrote: > H Pirmin, > > On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 3:29 PM, Pirmin Kalberer wrote: > >> Hi Jürgen, >> >> Am Mittwoch, 10.
