UI Suggestion

Ideas
1

Hi,

I've been using BSS a fair bit now and it's been fantastic. Just got a few UI suggestions. These are very minor issues, but suggestions all the same.

  • The gap from the top of the preview window to the top bar that contains the buttons for the devices and zooming in / out etc is quite large. I wish this could be minimised so then I could make the preview window as large as possible without having it scroll while also having the styles and html tabs at the bottom open.

  • Additionally, it would be good to be able to have the html tab and the styles tab together in the same window. Now currently I can move the tabs over to be together but this leaves a space that I can't find a way to get rid of?

  • A final suggestion is to be able to save a custom window size. So we can choose the window size at the top left to be iPhone X or Desktop HD etc, but it would be helpful to be able to create a custom size and save it for use.

Thanks :)

+1 to all of these suggestions

I'm sure that most would rather see the windows pop out than be rearranged, but I'd settle for both :P Great suggestions!

The space at the top you mentioned is typically occupied by buttons to configure options on the currently selected component. I suppose they could make it to shrink/expand when nothing is selected, but that might get a bit jarring.

I'd like to see the Attributes in its own tab, so I could have HTML, ATTRIBUTES and CSS windows all side-by-side. (I have the room on my widescreen monitor)

With multiple monitors available, any way to gain more height in the main pane would be very welcome.
