Sorry, what do you mean by the conversion went well..? Are we speaking of the same whiteboard here? I mean: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/MenuIdeas ... which hasn't been converted yet. >> Mirek, I guess it would be the best if you could pick anything that's >> useful for a Hide the Status Bar whitebooard (as proposed by Kendy) >> and shelve everything you can't use use under Whiteboards/Archive. > > As I understand it, under Kendy's proposal, the status bar would still be > available under "View" but just hidden by default.

Of course, but most of the Paulo Jose's page is an analysis of what we have. I think that would be quite useful to determine which of these things we need even when the status bar is off by default, and which we can live without. > Or do we want to dispense with the current status bar entirely?

I am absolutely not opposed to even removing the status bar completely if there are other ways to keep the user informed about the things that are relevant. For instance, lots of information could instead be displayed within the rulers (like exact information about size and location of objects). >> > Astron, on your "PropertiesButtonLayout" page, the summary should only >> > state the goal of your whiteboard, such as "Improve dialog usability".

Ah, well... is the inspirational value of the designs that we want to replace really that high? Don't we rather want to analyse what the mistakes were that were made before instead of trying to build something very similar? > I agree.
