[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-9978) JBoss Central Launch & UI Thoughts

[Snjezana Peco (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9978?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12636454#comment-12636454 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-9978:
--------------------------------------

> 1) Default on Startup

JBoss Central Editor is already shown on startup as well as when updating our usage and/or central plugin.

> 2) Default as part of the JBoss Perspective

JBoss Central is an editor and can't be part of any perspective.

> 3) Help - JBoss Central

This action has already been added.

> 4) JBoss Toolbar Icon (see screenshot)- that icon is always visible and the most likely place for someone to go whenever JBoss Central gets "lost"

Max asked me to create a new jira for this action. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9993

> also, the "Search the Community" field currently takes up too much real-estate, can it be pulled on to the same line as "JBoss Central" 

Max already suggested that.
See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9368?focusedCommentId=12635034&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12635034

Max:  can we get the search field into the headline so it doesnt take that much space?

Snjeza: That would invalidate all the toolbars in the headline. They all would have the same size (as the Search field). We could move the toolbars to the header line (http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Forms33/index.html - form.setToolBarVerticalAlignment(SWT.BOTTOM)), but that wouldn't help.
You can see that STS contains two controls - search and STS link that are the same in size.

I will try to find a solution for this problem.
