Daniel asked me to respond to this issue as lead developer for Bluefish. The reason for this user interface design choice is that the text area is the most important area for bluefish. Since bluefish has multiple toolbars, tabs etc. these all reduce the size available for the text area. Using both text and icons makes this even worse. Even users that use both icons and text in general programs often prefer to have icons only within bluefish. I know several of them.
If there is user-demand to have also the text in the toolbars I would accept a patch to support that. However, since most users prefer to have the text area as large as possible this should become configurable and disabled by default. I would suggest to continue this discussion on one of the Bluefish mailinglists because on the list there are more Bluefish users that can express their opinions regarding this matter. -- bluefish doesn't honor the GNOME toolbar settings. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
