------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 12 16:13:12 +0000 2008 ------- Please give us more information around computing environment such as resolution of display like 800 x 600, the number of colors like 1 million, and what mainly office suite software is used for, etc. This issue opened in 2003 and now we live in 2008. I guess that computer environment has been dramatically changed compared to 2003. This is my opinion. I do not currently need an idea of split-window, but will need much more other features. So I would like developers to spend time for enhancing and introducing other features. Why do I think so? I currently use 2560 x 1600 of LCD displays. With this environment, the area of window title, menu bar, tool bars, and status bars occupies less than 10% of height of display. I do not need to take care of the occupancy. I hate to use Window's like desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE, not to mention, Windows. I prefer a window manager fvwm2 that allows users have multiple virtual displays. Individual virtual displays lie side by side and thus a window of software can spread all over the displays. That means I have a 12800 x 8000 of virtual display with a setting of 5 x 5 virtual displays. Additionally, I apply focus-follow-mouse policy and auto-rise-window. I do not need to click some area of a window to change focus of window, just move cursor pointer on the desired window. The window, even it is behind the other windows, automatically rises up to the top. A window manager fvwm, predecessor of fvwm2, was available in the time of Windows 95. Windows-like desktop environment, however, has been dominating the PC markets for years, but I think such kind of poor environment leads much loss of productivity lasting for some decades. Sorry, those are somewhat off the topic. What I wanted to mention were: - Larger display, less demands of split-window. - Times goes, technology enhances, becoming easier to have a larger display. - Within a few years, most people would not take care of this issue. Actually, from a technical point of view, implementation of split-window in an application takes much efforts than leaving a control of two windows to the window system provided by OS such as Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX. Demands of this issue would be diminishing. But there would be something that i have not noticed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
