Hide Menu Bar
An option to hide the menu bar would be grouse.
Re: Hide Menu Bar
As you surely know, there's the fullscreen mode which can be switched to by pressing "F" key or selecting "View > Fullscreen".bunkyd wrote:An option to hide the menu bar would be grouse.
In some cases it might be useful to hide/show the menu, so an option/setting might be good.
(Note: In Internet Explorer 7.0 the menu is hidden by default and appears by pressing Alt key. It's a bit strange when using it for the first time but then it seems alright.)
that sounds like a good design since alt is always associated with regular menu bars in windows.
for me not being able to hide menu bar is still very tedious if I should be frank :)
if one could hide it, not only the space of it would be saved but windows could scale down even further in width (I often view many reference images so small that xnview doesn't adjust window size to them, due to menu bar?)
perhaps with small images though that show-on-alt design wouldn't be good since menu bar wouldn't fit on one row.
perhaps the menu bar could be a right click menu folder expanding into a vertical list of all the menu bar items?
or derive two good solutions from how windows explorer (file manager) behaves.
1. don't let menu bar items jump down to produce more menu bar rows but just cut it from the right giving you a ">>" button that presents the items that were left out as a drop down box.
2. as left click on the titlebar icon gives you the standard restore, size, move, close etc a right click will give you another drop down. in xnview's case it could drop down a drop down menu with the menu bar items?
I use xnview mostly for putting up reference pics on my (very limited) free desktop space next to my graphics production app so every 10 pixels of space really does matter when the viewer windows are many :)
cheers in any case :)
