Yes, I did consider all those.

That looks as a reasonable compromise between what I see in beta2 and rc1.

My response obviously was triggered by using rc1 after beta2 :)
Larger is easer to read, of course. But at the size of rc1 I can almost
edit them :) (1366x768 usually full screen) But finding recent document
that are below #8 (number of recent documents counts to 25..) is a pita ;)

Sounds interesting!
Is the screenshot above 180X180?
Was the size in beta2 90x90 or so ?

thanks for your response!
