Hi Jay, The tool bar will stay? It has the possibility to draw toolbars out of it, so have a separate floating toolbar for e.g. lines, shapes, .. Cheers, Cor (In reply to Jay Philips from comment #0) > It would be useful to integrate the entire collection of drawing functions > from the drawing toolbar into a sidebar pane... @Jay, hate to harp on the semantics of it, but you are asking for a new Sidebar Tab and associated Content panel(s) holding buttons from the drawing toolbar (and associated .uno actions) to place in the Sidebar Deck... Otherwise though, this is a logical addition to the Sidebar (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #1) > The tool bar will stay? It has the possibility to draw toolbars out of it, > so have a separate floating toolbar for e.g. lines, shapes, .. Yes, toolbar would have to remain, but probably not in view by default. That is until work on bug 85905, and similar, to allow multiple sidebar "content panels" to be undocked and active. Currently with content panels for only a single tab active in the sidebar deck we have to retain toolbars. If multiple sidebar content panels could be undocked and active--we reduce the need for toolbars. @Cor, yes the drawing toolbar would be hidden by default if the shapes tab was available in the toolbar. @Stuart, yep thats the idea, shapes tab with shape type/group content panels. :D Reading through the various comments that came in through the recent survey done by me and Heiko for impress, many users want a less cluttered UI. One user had expressed the reduction in the number of toolbars and i felt that if we could eliminate the second top toolbar row and drawing toolbar, there would be alot more room for the slide and sidebars and less clutter. From my testing so far, i believe we could easily eliminate the second top toolbar, as all its features are in the sidebar and in the context menu, but the only way to eliminate the drawing toolbar is to get its features into the sidebar. |

Created attachment 111225 [details] shapes sidebar pane in wps presentation It would be useful to integrate the entire collection of drawing functions from the drawing toolbar into a sidebar pane. This would be most useful in impress, as it would free up the space taken at the bottom of the UI by the toolbar.
