*Hi Saq,* Wow, thanks for the demo! Wasn't expecting anything until next week, since you said you were pretty busy. See my replies in *bold*

With narrow columns, I am wondering about tiddler titles. Is there a way to drop them down below the toolbar?

I do a lot of printing from tw's, and treat titles as text.

Right way to go. * *FYI, The 'divert to the left' is just closing the tiddlers on the right, not diverting them.* *Oh, wait, with the sidebar set up like this, there is no way to horizontal scroll. Some of the tiddlers in the system tab are long and unreadable. Not sure what to do about that. I still prefer the sidebar coming out over the right column.But it makes sections of the system and shadow tabs unusable.* *At some point I will try to reduce the space between the two columns by half, and add that space to the far right so the right side tiddlers don't touch the side. * *I can actually see myself using the Open tab with a setup like this, something I never use (because I typically use zoomin)* Regards, > Saq > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/d60QYKycUCY/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tiddlywiki/a7572c2b-5a7b-4b7b-8a0b-e5cfc2879ab8%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tiddlywiki/a7572c2b-5a7b-4b7b-8a0b-e5cfc2879ab8%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
