Hi There,
For completion, I wanted to present something that I thought up in the context of the scrollbar over content issue.
It's called "presenter mode" and can be activated using some frontend code. The idea is to remove all decorations from the workspace so that only the workspace flow is shown. My original idea was to remove overlap of navigation and content but perhaps it could also be generally useful.
The code is very much specific to NR 5.0.0 and might well not work in the future.
$('#red-ui-workspace-footer').toggle()
$('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-v').toggle()
$('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-h').toggle()
if ($('#red-ui-workspace-footer').is(":visible") ) {
if (!$("#red-ui-sidebar-separator").is(":visible")) {
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-right-sidebar")
}
if (!$("#red-ui-sidebar-left-separator").is(":visible")) {
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-left-sidebar")
}
$('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-h').css('bottom', '36px')
} else {
if ($("#red-ui-sidebar-separator").is(":visible")) {
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-right-sidebar")
}
if ($("#red-ui-sidebar-left-separator").is(":visible")) {
RED.actions.invoke("core:toggle-left-sidebar")
}
$('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-h').css('bottom', '5px')
}
Why do I post here? I think it's a nice feature and something that could be introduced to NR5. So perhaps it will get traction here and convince others to also request this feature.
I've also wrapped the code into a client code node and created a flow for activating the presenter mode. It also does something else:
Here a "message tracing" mode is activated, what happens is that the msg trace sidebar is shown on the top and the debug panel on the bottom. The left sidebar is removed. I.e. this mode shows specific sidebars relevant for a specific task.
The idea is to have buttons that setup the editor for various activities that are common. With four separate sidebar placements, setting up all the sidebars for a specific task can become tiresome hence a shortcut would be nice.
Of course, this mode assumes that sidebars have been grouped correctly, i.e. the introspection is in the top group and the debug panel in the bottom sidebar on the right side.
