[Bug 268772] Re: Toolbar Icon Label Default Setting | QA Testing

[nilux]

Hi,

I'm not sure about the benefits of putting the text alongside the
icons..

Here are a few points i found disturbing; check the two attached screenshots to compare :
- The limit between each button gets blurry because the text is mixed with the icons. I find it confusing.
- We gain a few pixels vertically, but lose much more pixels horizontally! Horizontal space is important on wide screens too, since the extra space is often used for an always displayed widget bar or kopete contact list for example.
- It doesn't fix the problem of varying label lengths, it gets even worse because now every single button has its own length depending on the number of letters.
- We constantly have to click the double arrows to click the last buttons on the right. I find it confusing too because some important options get hidden, and new users cannot know they exist if they are always hidden by default..
