For documentation of ideas from bug 448716, Preferences UI clean up.
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 of main-tabs and maybe the window size.
The current window looks like this, where the first line is the title of the main-tab:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | General | Display | Composition | Privacy | Attachments | Advanced | | | Format | General | Junk | | General | | | Tags | Addressing | Scams | | Network & Disk Space | | | | Spelling | Anti-Virus | | Updates | | | | | Passwords | | Certificates | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In Firefox the Preferences looks like:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Main | Content | Applications | Privacy | Security | Advanced | | | General | | | Network | | | Updates | | | Encryption | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The proposed layout for Thunderbird looks like:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Main | Display | Tags | Composition | Privacy | Advanced | | | Addressing | | | Anti-Virus | | | Junk | | | Network & Disk Space | | | Update | | | Certificates | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
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.
