== Reducing the number of sub-tabs == | |||
The current Preferences menu have 6 main tabs and 13 sub-tabs. The goal is to reduce the number of sub-tabs by increasing the number og main-tabs and maybe the window size. | |||
The current window looks like this, where the first line is the title of the main-tab: | |||
<pre> | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
| | | |||
| General | Display | Composition | Privacy | Attachments | Advanced | | |||
| | Format | General | Junk | | General | | |||
| | Tags | Addressing | Scams | | Network & Disk Space | | |||
| | | Spelling | Anti-Virus | | Updates | | |||
| | | | Passwords | | Certificates | | |||
| | | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
</pre> | |||
In Firefox the Preferences looks like: | |||
<pre> | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
| | | |||
| Main | Content | Applications | Privacy | Security | Advanced | | |||
| | General | | |||
| | Network | | |||
| | Updates | | |||
| | Encryption | | |||
| | | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
</pre> | |||
The proposed layout for Thunderbird looks like: | |||
<pre> | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
| | | |||
| Main | Display | Tags | Composition | Privacy | Advanced | | |||
| | Addressing | | |||
| | Anti-Virus | | |||
| | Junk | | |||
| | Network & Disk Space | | |||
| | Update | | |||
| | Certificates | | |||
| | | |||
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |||
</pre> | |||
In the above mock-up have the content of the main-tabs been set to: | |||
* Main = General + Attachments | |||
* Display = Display->Format + Privacy->Email Scams | |||
* Composition = Composition->General + Composition->Spelling | |||
* Privacy = Privacy->Passwords | |||
Please open the Thunderbird Preferences menu to see what each tab contains. The window size may not need to be increased. | |||
