Hi Nicolas, Before engaging an effort on the "UI (User Interface) enhancements" section, I want to check and possibly split this section into more accurate sub-sections, to clarify things. But this part is clearly identified, so I see no problems with your proposition.
To be sure we are on the same page. For this case, the idea was to offer an alternative to non ending menus bars with tons of buttons which are barely legible (beware you get used to it, which distorts your perception). So, by default, to keep only visible the main ones and to hide the others in a dropdown menu. With also a repetition of the menu bar at bottom if necessary (long pages, implies dropdown in both directions, mmm). This is now more obvious with FlatGrey than the other themes which use dropdown menus. But only for the main options, so the problem remains there also. Keep also in mind that only Tomahawk and FlatGrey are now released, though the others are not (yet?) deprecated. I wonder about that, because really the evolutions which ended with Tomahawk are not as good, though very similar apart the colors. For now it's not a pain to maintain, since we did not change much things. But if we try to improve it could be an issue. I experienced it a bit when upgrading the javascript libs and plugins recently... Nevertheless, if we engage in such an effort, we need to create an user preference to allow both modes. Also, as it seems you suggested, maybe a something more modern than that could be done using portlets... Thinking about it, I think what we miss is a main option (like languages or themes) to allow an user to set her/his preferences.
