hi guys,
Been hacking away at looking at the MessageView.
I think I would like to change this a little..
The FROM, TO, CC etc.. Dates, Subject I would make into a widget at the
top.
and the WebView would remain the same below.. I hasten to add though,
that
keeping the same style would be nice, ie whitel backgound etc..
eg
Random thoughts on this (and TB)
- steals vertical space, issue with non-vertical mode (notice that CC can
be a quite long list)
- having the header blended into the message w/o any separation might look
weird on scrolling
- layout error prone? assuming a long sender line the buttons will either
overlay it or drop into the next line etc.
- aesthetic concern #1: more toolbar stacking (in case of non blended
version)
- aesthetic concern #2 (present): no toolbar in the standalone window
Nevertheless, the current situation is probably not ideal and having the
message operations at the message is sane SDI.
Proposal:
Sort the actions to "general" (write mail, settings, show menubar,
expunge), "message" (reply *, mark *) and "message list" (searching) and
have three toolbars aligned to the sections (resp. moved down with the
message view in the non-vertical mode and into the separate window as
well) to get a uniform separation between action and content.
As for the static header, i would depend that on the remaining height of
the message view (so a tiny window or giant header will lead to a non
static header)
Cheers,
Thomas
