The first time I saw the navbar it seemed rather indigestible - so much text to read. But I did understand that the square brackets were indicating buttons. The second time was after visiting help, where I came to see that, for me at any rate, if you paid attention to the arrow heads, you didn't have to read all the text each time. And then I puzzled about the layout: [Up] seemed to be rather like [<<] and [>>], but it wasn't placed on their level. I supposed that was because you really needed three levels to hint at the destinations, i.e. [Top] [<<] [Up ] [>>]
[< ] [ >] and this had been squashed together to save space: [<<] [Top] [>>] [< ] [Up ] [ >]So there wasn't very much you could do about it, because [Top]'s destination was obviously higher than [Up]'s destination.
But recently I have come to see that it is not quite like that. The group [Top][Contents][Index][?] is a mixed bag: - [Index] goes in exactly the opposite direction to [Top] - [Contents] and [?] head off into Metaland - and [Top] might well have been less vertical e.g. [<<<]. So I think this group is pretty neutral as regards destination, and propose:
LSwap the [Top] and [Up] groups in the navbar.
This is accompanied by two adjustments:
- replace [Up] with [^]this extends the signpost motif to a (squashed) compass rose motif, making the arrow heads that much more effective. - rename [Top] to the more neutral [Start] (as currently used in the tocpane tooltip text) Navbar.png shows an example of the result:
[<<] [^] [>>] [< ] [etc] [ >] Cheers, Robin
