Keep both, but allow the horizontal layout as a different xsheet window that can be chosen, much like the Tool bar can be selected in vertical or horizontal layouts.\r\n\r\nHere is an example of a current vertical layout and a mocked up horizontal layout with the same information:\r\n\r\n![xsheet-horizontal](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/19245851/16291290/2e715742-38d3-11e6-97c4-4decff5edd44.png)\r\n\r\nIt is a bit more intuitive because it looks more like a timeline.  This looks and feels similar to timelines in other animation software making it easier to understand.  It also feels more natural to view the timeline from left-right instead of up-down.\r\n\r\nMost screens/videos are wider than taller so a horizontal layout could work out better when placed at the top or bottom of the screen like in the Cleanup, Animation or Pltedit rooms.  Docking it on the right or left and squeezing it to just show icons and visibility/lock buttons would make it appear similar to \"Layers\" panes in other animation software which could be useful in the Basics or Drawing room.\r\n\r\nMight also want to consider adding a horizontal layout for the Function Editor if this one is done.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/comments/228025906","html_url":"https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/503#issuecomment-228025906","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/opentoonz/opentoonz/issues/503","id":228025906,"user":{"login":"blurymind","id":6495061,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6495061?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind","html_url":"https://github.com/blurymind","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blurymind/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-23T11:46:38Z","updated_at":"2016-06-23T11:46:38Z","body":"I personally would never use a horizontal  xsheet on a single monitor setup.\r\n\r\nTvpaint uses that style and while it gives a lot of extra horizontal space for cells, it takes away almost half the vertical space of the actual drawing area. When you animate biped characters vertical space is super precious, while horizontal space tends to be white canvas. That is why the current setup is actually really good!\r\nOne way tvpaint gets around the problem is having the software autohide the horizontal x-sheet while the mouse cursor is not over it's panel. This is something that can be toggled on/off on most panels - they have autohide mode.\r\n\r\nBut tvpaint's design is different to the one in toonz.We dont have that autohide panel behavior "}}
