Vertical screen real estate
October 22nd, 2008
I’m rather surprised that a lot of desktop solutions still use a huge amount of vertical space on the screen. Especially since most monitors are more wide then high. Why isn’t it possible to put a lot of toolbars and related stuff (menus, status bars) on the side of windows?
There is a nice little Firefox plugin that helps a bit: TinyMenu. It’s pretty good, it decreases the Firefox menu to a single entry so that you can combine it with other entries on a toolbar. It saves my 1 toolbar vertical screen real estate.
