So I just threw everything related to usability (not necessarily UI) onto the list. From what I've seen there's been a few similar polish-related GSoC projects accepted in recent years, so I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem. Would you prefer if there was one or two big ticket items on there? Such as... * reduce vertical scrolling for toolbar, operator view. > * cleanup view3D header & menus eg: > http://www.blendernation.com/2011/10/29/cleaning-up-the-blender-ui/ > * improve the layout engine for more efficient use of whitespace (or > at least make configurable). > * improve toolbar (add/remove user tools would be nice to have) > These look really interesting, I would love to add them. Can I ask you to expand on these? How exactly more efficient whitespace, you mean reducing it? How would you want to reduce vertical scrolling? Some of them could be controversial, I tried to stick to uncontroversial things. The Reynish presentation for example I would love to work on. Should I do a Gimp mockup of a new toolbar? If these things require debate, how should I go about handling them in my proposal? I'll move all of the not directly related to UI stuff into a nice-to-have section. -- Jorge "Vino" Rodriguez jo...@lunarworkshop.com twitter: VinoBS 919.757.3066 _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
