On a 13\" laptop, it is almost hard to avoid.\r\n\r\nHere is a screen shot:\r\n\r\n<img width=\"1264\" alt=\"screen shot 2016-08-17 at 7 33 23 pm\" src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/27600/17760059/7f1cee54-64b1-11e6-9dbf-6b7b3205f493.png\">\r\n\r\nI have also been watching how users interact with other UIs in this space (such as RStudio) which don't have this content squeeze effect. \r\n\r\nI think we should rethink how we are using the L/R side panels and how their functionality is expressed visually in the layout. Some things to consider:\r\n\r\n* Can we get by with just a L panel? Running could be moved to the L side and the inspector could be made a panel in the dock area.\r\n* Does it make more sense to open help links in a separate browser tab?\r\n* The vertical tabs of the L/R panel occupy a significant amount of horizontal space. Is there a different way of expressing that layout that doesn't occupy that space.\r\n* RStudio has a complete fixed layout that always puts the same content in the same place in the same 4 panels. While I don't want to move to something that rigid, we may want some options that rearrange the UI into a well known, fixed arrangement."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jupyter/jupyterlab/issues/comments/242877125","html_url":"https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterlab/issues/696#issuecomment-242877125","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jupyter/jupyterlab/issues/696","id":242877125,"user":{"login":"Carreau","id":335567,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/335567?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau","html_url":"https://github.com/Carreau","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Carreau/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-08-26T23:40:32Z","updated_at":"2016-08-26T23:40:32Z","body":"[I took the liberty of editing previous comment to include design names we can refer to , based on alt-text]. \r\n\r\nI have a preference for the toolbar color in design 3 4 ; though I'm unsure if it goes well with the rest of the Blue.
