Re: UI Usability

 

Hi, Dmitry.

I don't think the horizontal space is a big issue. With my screen
resolution I have two empty spaces around the left and right side of the
main window, and these spaces eat approx. 30% of total horizontal space.
Anyway, I hope our UI guys will give us a better structured UI in future.
