- jamesgeck0 8y agoIt works better for bookmarks, since you can fit more entries in the list before you have to scroll.
- strmpnk 8y agoGood point. I tend to use folders so on a bar they’d be a menu that would hide and then show. But for things like reading lists where I want something linear and present, the sidebar is nice.
- always_good 8y agoNot sure what you're thinking of but check out the Tree Style Tabs browse plugin to see what they mean. Tabs with text work perfectly.
- strmpnk 8y agoI mean that you need something more than 100px wide. So it cuts into the page space more aggressively. It’s a good use of space but unfortunately most designs do not account for this very well in my experience.
- WorldMaker 8y agoWindows 95-style taskbar, sure, but since Vista switched to the default of grouping icons with rich hover, the Windows taskbar has only gotten better at being on the short axis. (Though I've been keeping my main taskbar on the right hand side since XP and that was perfectly reasonable then even. These days, I tend to sandwich my Windows taskbars these days with it on the left on the left monitor and on the right on the right monitor.)
