[oXygen-user] oXygen 21.x running on Windows: Is there a way to make icons smaller?

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Kristen,

Somehow for this use case in which you have a small screen area and the 
toolbars get in the way I had this idea of adding a new action called 
"Hide toolbars" to the Oxygen "Window" menu.
There is already an action there called "Maximize editing area" which 
hides the side views so maybe these two actions would go well together.

Both actions (the one which hides side views and the one which hides the 
toolbars) would be toggle actions and you could assign keyboard 
shortcuts to them so that when you want to maximize the editing area you 
could hide both the side views and the toolbars.
The main menu has most actions inside it anyway and the content 
completion window makes the Author toolbar redundant in a way. Also the 
regular shortcuts for saving, opening files would still work.

So maybe people could increase the editing area and edit distraction 
free and by hiding toolbars and side views.

Regards,
Radu
