It feels a bit awkward currently: * In order to maximize my inspect/console space, I have to drag the splitter all the way up, but the splitter has a minimum size for the sidebar/content area/sidebar so I lose some vertical real-estate and it looks ugly. * The sidebars are eating up the content area for the runtime monitor/permissions table/runtime info/device preferences. I can resize the sidebars down to nothing and then get them back, but it's definitely more awkward than the current dropdowns. Having said that, it's not a huge deal to me, and if there are people currently experiencing frustration with the dropdowns disappearing on them or something, I'd certainly err on the side of avoiding that problem. I feel like I've heard talk of moving the WebIDE to just be tabs in Firefox, and that sounds ideal if it means that once I pick an app to attach to on a specific device endpoint, a tab just opens to debug that app with just the devtool and it doesn't need to share the screen real-estate with any of the dropdown stuff. Maybe there could be a breadcrumb navigation affordance like "[WebIDE] > [Device: Flame] > [App: Email]". Andrew PS: I realize it's all a bit complex since these two drop-downs are a mash-up of the otherwise orthogonal "pick a device, then pick an app / device info screen" and "project management / editor / IDE" roles. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
