The Widget/Plug-in sidebar needs some UI help
Tags :Domino 8
I have jokingly said this day would come, but now it has. With all of the vendors, partners and just fun people making useful sidebar plug-ins and widgets, it is becoming too crowded. Collapsing the area down now brings a row (not easily sortable) that includes a drop-down arrow (not sortable) to select from.
This screenshot is the minimalist one. If I open a ton of widgets, then I have these things everywhere. I cannot sort alphabetically, most used, recently used, or anything else. I need a way to manage the sidebar area more effectively as the client continues to grow with features.
With the Notes client Eclipse portion simply being a frame around Notes basic, the drive to force as much into the frame as possible is the only action. Without delving into Vulcan in this posting, a change will be needed to get the most use out of the panels themselves and make functioning with numerous ones open as well as finding ones easier.
Is anyone else seeing this yet?
