yesss indeed a good idea for saving even more space on Project Explorer window: Add files = green thingy Remove files = red thingy Options = grey thingy Help = blue thingy
Hmm I just come up with another idea: alternatively we could remove all these buttons from panel and then make it a menu which would appear when clicking window title icon (where we currently have "Lazarus face" thing): [*] Project Inspector - Project1 file 1 file 2 ... So when you click [*] you would see a menu with four items: Add file Remove file Options Help Of course nobody wold guess that this thingy opens an important menu, so we could make it look like this [menu] Project Inspector - Project1 so it would be more obvious 15.10.2014, 13:40, "Jürgen Hestermann" <juergen.hesterm...@gmx.de>: > Am 2014-10-14 um 20:13 schrieb Michael Van Canneyt: >> On Tue, 14 Oct 2014, Jürgen Hestermann wrote: >>> Am 2014-10-14 um 18:43 schrieb waldo kitty: >>>> On 10/14/2014 5:20 AM, hinsta...@yandex.ru wrote: >>>>> These urgently need to be reduced to icons with no text >>>>> http://s30.postimg.org/5hxkrzfkx/LWaste.png >>>> why? and why "urgently"?? >>>> >>>> my personal preference is text only or text with icon if text only is not >>>> available... i never have liked just plain icons with no indication of >>>> their action... >>> +1 >>> Icons are realy useless. >>> You cannot search for nor filter nor sort them. >>> They eat up space and performance without benefit. >> There must be something wrong with your eyes then. >> Icons use less space than text. >> >> You can count the number of buttons where the text is smaller (as in: less >> wide) than the icon, on 1 hand. >> At a first glance, for 'Add' the text is as wide as the icon.
