3 years ago Totally agree with the fact that the navigation takes too much space. The different views could also be opened and closed via entries in the top menu (most GUIs do that under the topic "Views"). So the GUI is definitely something to be optimized, especially considering we need a better space management to get the new search in without cutting off to much actual editor.
I love Manuskript so far. My only big complaint is the nature of the menu on the right hand side where the text is rotated 90° and requires someone to read from top to bottom, it's a major visual incongruity. I mostly blame KDE and QT for this issue though. What I would suggest is using icons instead in place of the text. Also moving the navigation buttons on the verticle left hand menu to the horizontal would increase screen real estate on smaller devices. (Again KDE)
In reference I'm just going to poke the rather unhelpful #150 "gui redo" where the screenshots for Scrivener show that it's mostly horizontal menus with very little text. But I need to point this out, the current Windows version 1.9 is not as pretty as those screenshots so I've referenced a Windows Screenshot here.
