Bug ID: 358390
Summary: Main Toolbar improvement suggestion: make main top
menu a "Menu" button in the main toolbar (graphical
mock-up included)
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jesse.dub...@gmail.com
See mock-up for a visual. What if you did away with the old main menu bar at
the top and made it the first button in the main toolbar? The icon could be the
new Kdenlive breeze icon, with the text "Menu" (or whatever text you want) to
the right of it; and the menu options could be arranged similar to the context
menus in the Kdenlive widgets: where the options are listed vertically, and the
sub-menu options open to the right of it.
BENEFITS:
(1) Would eliminate the oldy-hokey look of the traditional text-only menu bar,
and give a nice, sleek-looking menu that falls in line with the rest of the
Kdenlive menu styles
(2) Would increase the default program real-estate by removing the space taken
up by the top menu bar, leaving more room for the editor widgets themselves
(3) There's PLENTY of space in the main and extra toolbars
You could make it a mandatory button so the user couldn't accidentally get rid
of it if customizing the toolbars.
Food for thought. :)
Reproducible: Always
