Description Frank Brütting 2017-10-24 22:25:58 UTC
Description:
I own a 21:9 screen and when displaying LO in full-screen, 60 % of the top bar is blank. Could you automatically and dynamically add the second bar to the right side of the first bar, if the window is wide enough? See my screen shot.

Do it for yourself. Each toolbar can be dragged and positioned as needed.

And when responding to contextual changes, the toolbars will honor the changed docking placement.

If you are asking for some HiDPI support to change the placement defaults, not sure that is needed. At 4K resolutions the stacked toolbars are not much of an issue--and can be repositioned if preferred, and retained in profile--with no need to automate.

Yes, I know I can do manually. But then it doesn’t change dynamically, so if I scale down the window, I can’t see the second bar anymore…

No HiDPI by the way.

You can also try the single toolbar layout (view > toolbar layout) or the notebookbar (enable per tools > options > advanced +experimental). 

Do we want to automatically setup a layout depending on the hardware? Wouldn't do so as the customization is very easy, as Stuart describes, and you may switch the display sometimes (connect a projector, for example).

Not per hardware, but per window width!

I use sidebar only (what is especially useful for wide-screen displays).

When I work on larger documents, I often change to full screen, for displaying 2-3 pages at once. But the top bar being not used for the main part, isn’t that nice. You probably could check the window width against being as wide, for fitting the second bar to the right of the first and then do just that…?

Sorry, I sometimes also use default toolbar setting with sidebar activated.

> Not per hardware, but per window width!

Window width is hardware, and you also want us to consider the scenario. Any automatic would fail for most users. So please customize the UI depending on your very own environment.
