> I'm very strongly -1 for moving this "About" information to the main
overview page, just to make it less light on content. I don't think we need to
try to fill the space just to fill it, and I think the About page is better to
have off to the side.
It wasn't moved solely because the overview page was light on content. The
suggestion was made to change the three-dot menu icon to a gear icon and make
it a preferences menu. It didn't make sense to me to have the About menu item
in the preference menu. What I have seen in most UIs is that the About page is
located off some Help menu (Help -> About).
> I would prefer model stay, but the preferences be added to it.
I feel like that is odd, I don't know that I have ever seen an
implementation of this.
> It's nice to have a modal preferences window, and the information in the
About modal can be shown there. It doesn't need to be added to the Overview
page. I'm in favor of reverting this, or moving it back to a modal for the
preferences.
I can revert this change and move the About back to the three-dot menu. In
PR #6369 the About link will show up in the preference menu.
