Just some more concrete suggestions to simplify the v2 UI. As it stands I think the work bench is far too cluttered - lets go for something more Google Chrome, MS Office, Apple iOS etc. Specifically: Left hand tree of repositories - can this be moved into a dialog box (does it really need to be visible all the time, by default?) Ditto 'Filter bar' and others - just have a button and hot-key. We don't need them eating up screen space all the time. When they've been used, hide them again! Tab buttons in the bottom right - can these be moved into the button bar? They only make sense (to me) if they are per-revision, and some certainly aren't (like the sync tab). Even were they do make sense, I'd prefer all the buttons to be in one place (at the top) unless there is a compelling reason otherwise. Can't we just have 3 basic sections: - Buttons / Menus at the top - Listview of changesets, graph etc - Files (and diff) for currently selected changeset I've got no objections to being able to reconfigure things to the current v1.9-beta layout, but as a default I think it's far too intimidating to new users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by:
