Toolbar and button bar unification
Currently have button farm. And will only have more buttons in the future.
- Will want a bundle_info.xml way of listing the buttons provided by a bundle
- May also want to be able to dynamically add/remove buttons?
- Need way to disable/enable buttons so the usable buttons can be context sensitive (eg., mouse modes)
Prototype with Roger Pincombe's Office 2010 Style Ribbon Toolbar in HTML/CSS/JS
- buttons are hardcoded into section
- remove text hints with context menu
- balloon help for icons
- have to patch to fix size/location/color of balloon help
- not updated since 2011 (except README.md)
Bugs / Enhancements
- section text that has letters with descenders have the descenders clipped
- want colors to match Qt UI elements
- icons should have transparent backgrounds
- hintless version should resize to lower height
- should hintless version (optionally?) have 2 rows of smaller buttons?
Reactions/Feedback
Eric
- Esthetically very clean looking
- On Mac, too tall by about 50%
- 1/8" blank space above tabs
- 1/4" blank between bottom of icon text and top of category text
- Non-full scrollbar on right even though there is nothing to scroll
- As mentioned in bugs, "hintless" version is the same size, even after restarting
- Icons differ in size between "hinted" and hintless version, which may be okay if intentional
- Undo/Redo should be on the right, not left, since they are infrequent actions
- How do icons get into a Home/Favorites category?
Elaine
- icon text should match current icon balloon help for mouse modes and most other icons (possible exception for those in show/hide and background groupings)
- categorizations need adjusting
- startup should not assume which "classical" toolbars are shown or not shown
- not all icons work, some give tracebacks (3/5/2019)
