Created attachment 111441 [details] custom animation sidebar tab The elements in the custom animation tab of impress are taking up to much width, for no particular reason that i can see. You can see the main list element is being cropped on the right, as well as the options button on the direction line. I think we could easily change the options button from a text button to an image button with an wrench icon. Doing this would also make room to push the various controls from touching the left side of the sidebar. Note: The size of the toolbar shown is the minimum size used in the properties tab.
I agree, the text button could be replaced by an intuitive image (like in the attachment of Bug 87813). @Jay: But, the Sidebar would stay in its width if the list boxes would be added as proposed in Bug 87813 (because of the longer effect names and the translations)?
@Andy: The listboxes added in the mockup in attachment 111598 [details] could easily be reduced in size and once we have the most optimal minimum size of the sidebar, we dont allow it to be shrunk beyond that size.
This has been resolved by recent changes to the custom animation tab.
Namely Bug 87813.
