FWIW, I agree too. For reference, this is what the toolbar looks like now: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Dextrose_tabbed_browsing.png > The feature that strikes me as most complex is the new add > tab feature, I know many adults who do not understand this > feature.

Agreed. Alternatively, the "new tab" button could become a small plus on the tab bar, which could be made visible at all times.

I wonder if we could also fold the "star" button for bookmarks inside the omnibox, like Firefox does. > I'd vote +.9 for this, I'd rather we didn't have to use another > UI button design vs. nice large (finger sized) toolbar bar buttons, > but Sugar does already use this design for adding the Clear (x) > widget in to the right of all Search fields – and we really do > need to save the space in the Browse toolbar now that some > deployment folks are calling for the addition of a home button. Removing one big button from the toolbar and putting a tiny one in the URL bar *will* result in more space for the URL bar! Another good way to save space: there seems to be too much empty space on the sides of the main toolbar. Can it be reduced a little? -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
