Honestly I don’t think it’s a good idea. Just to start, what you could see as “blank space” in English may not be so in other languages. Also * You can already rearrange toolbars to take up less vertical space * ... or even remove them all and use the sidebar only * The place where you put the document’s title is nonstandard and the space is ridiculously limited, you’d only see something like “Doc...odt” * How would you drag the window? There’s no space left for that. You’re welcome to make suggestions, iterate on them and get involved in UX discussions at https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/projects/design/boards. (In reply to comment #1) *For Menu bar we could use symbols, so that the blank space will be same in all languages *we can rearrange toolbars, but can't hide title bar (but firefox and many other can) * the space for title bar was just a suggestion, other options are hovering action, floating menu etc * we can drag windows without a title bar (as Mozilla FireFox. etc) As a person who used a netbook with a pretty small screen, I have to say that vertical space was never a problem. Is this a problem that you're experiencing, Gitsy? What screen height are you working under? Anyway, your suggestions are very Windows specific -- integrating with the title bar and changing the menu bar isn't always possible on other platforms and I doubt it would be easy with our toolkit. It's generally contrary to what I would consider good design -- clear visual separation of elements, including the use of white space, is a good thing. WONTFIXing for now — it’s not clear what’s the benefit of doing this, the idea is broad, and it’s not cross-platform-friendly. |
Created attachment 106295 [details] Mock up It will be nice if there is an option to 1. hide the title bar of LibreOffice like Mozilla Firefox. 2. add toolbars to the remaining blank space of the menu bar. 3. reduce the horizontal width of the formula bar and place it in same row along with toolbars. The above will make more working space for spreadsheets etc. and will be convenient especially in small screens Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.3.1.2 release
