Hi :) Ahah, at last i dug deep enough to reach this! Even on 4:3 aspect ratio the menus and general clutter seems aimed at reducing an A4 portrait mode (ie typical letter or other document) to a tiny thin sliver that makes it difficult to see how over-verbose i might have been or to see the context or flow (or lack of). The empty grey areas at the sides of documents can be annoying too. Grrrrr.
Shunting some stuff to the sides would be great. Looking at the ribbon bar it looks as though MSO is heading that way too.

It keeps the menus on the top (thus not breaking with the past) but adding all buttons to the sides making better use of wide screen monitors. This design also solves the problem of where to put new toolbars: they should always appear on the sides (like in Gimp). This is not comparable to the stupid Ribbon, where MS decided which buttons the users use most and hid all others. In addition the Ribbon was so wide that it took a large vertical space... If you never used this design failure named Office 2010 in a netbook, then you should, just for fun lesson of what not-to-do :) In my opinion even the Default toolbar should move to the Right (and move less used toolbars to the Left) where there is less travelling distance with the cursor. I hope this is added ASAP! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/New-design-tp3542274p3542744.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
