I don't really see what you mean, maybe you can mock it up. But if you want the bar to be on the left, I see two problems: 1) If the names are written vertically it becomes really annoying to read and not user friendly at all; 2) If you want the menu titles to be written horizontally on the left, you lose a huge amount of place. But maybe I have a wrong image in mind... Cheers, François -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
