I agree it could be hidden as default. In TiddlySpace when closed you get the icon in the top right hand corner which doesn't seem so intrusive but invites one to click on it and explore further.

Sorry I didn't explain this well. One could imagine making the backstage "stick" to the top of the page so that when you scroll it remains at the top. If there was a new tiddler button within the backstage, one could easily access it without having to scroll. > The new tiddler is hidden in readonly mode, and I feel/think that the > permaview button should be available to readers who would want to > share a link to all open tiddlers (story).. <snip> > I feel this is one of the advantages of a TW - which readers should > become aware of - and it should be as obvious as possible :-) Agreed, but for a first time user they are not essential to the experience. I see the closeAll and permaview buttons as useful features which one grows used to then uses heavily. I've seen some TiddlyWiki themes remove these buttons all together, so putting them in the backstage would make sense from that point of view in making them available across tiddlyspace. > > The downside of putting these buttons here is the height of the > > backstage increases, it is a bit more overwhelming and it also seems > > to extend the original remit of the backstage. > > Yep - I don't like that... > I was quite thrilled, back then, when the backstage was made very > slim. An implementation detail. I wonder if the new tiddler/close all/ permaview buttons could be made part of the backstage whilst keeping it slim. http://twitter.com/ manages to keep it's thin whilst packing in lots of functionality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
