Hi Stefan, You bring up a good point. I was also originally against the idea, but found it pretty good a while later. I don't think a vertical zoom slider would hurt the scroll bar much. Calc puts horizontal tabs next to the horizontall scrollbar, and it's not bad. Under small window resolutions, the slider could collapse into a slide-out button, similarly to how volume sliders work, so that the scroll bar would still be usable.
I like the idea because it bridges the mouse+keyboard and touch UIs. Touch UIs don't feature status bars, so it makes sense to move functionality from the status bar somewhere else in the UI. Instead of scroll bars and zoom sliders, touch UIs use gestures to scroll and zoom. In any case, I was only asked to design it. If you'd like to discuss the idea, write to Kendy (ke...@suse.com). -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
