I'm cutting previous quotes, as many of the arguments in them are not immediately relevant to the question of a suuitable name.
I would argue against the use of "bar" in connection with the sidepanel. It is not a bar in the normal understanding of the word in computing - a bar being long and thin and (typically) one icon tall, although there can be exceptions. "Panel" or "box" is in my view more descriptive. We might consider variations on a car or aeroplane's "instrument panel" or "control panel" or perhaps a ship's "binnacle" or a human "nerve centre" or medically a "monitoring console". -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
