A_B_C Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi there, since Publisher has so many new panels (“studios”) and features compared to Designer, I believe it would be about time to think about more economic ways to present the functionality of the application on smaller screens. Sure, nobody will usually do page layout on a 13 or 15 inch laptop screen. Nonetheless, when you take your laptop with you on the railway, it would be great to be able to still work with the application. So I think it would make sense to start considering a way to compress at least the context toolbars for smaller screen layouts. The stroke flyout button, for instance, is incredibly wide without providing much information, and I wonder if you really need to present the labels (“Mode”, “Convert”, “Action”, “Snap”, “Construction”) on small screens. You could make it a preference to hide the labels. Later you can tackle the studios. A button-and-flyout based solution would definitely be nice. Thank you for considering, Alex Quorra, Rich313 and sbe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorra Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I thought the same about that "pages" view to the left - and I'm using a standard big screen. It's nice that you can switch the pages display to a "small list" (similar to that in Indesign), but the panel is still wider than it needs to be.

A_B_C Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yes, indeed. The difference is just this … comparing one of the last non-subscription versions (version 5.5) … version 6 brought the single-frame solution: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
