Regression: Right Sidebar Headers/Labels

[AndersDeleuran]

Hi McNeel,

In Rhino 7 a docked right sidebar does not have headers/labels above the tabs:

While Rhino 8 now has these superfluous labels in docked mode:

That disappear when the containers are made floating:

Can you please add an option to also hide these labels when containers are docked?

Thanks and best,

Anders

Bump.

hi @AndersDeleuran sorry we missed this earlier.
What you show is the most unfortunate configuration, with horizontal tabs and text only. But I can see if you have it configured like that, the titles don’t make much sense.
Since in Rhino 8 these headers also function as the area to grab the container, I don’t think we can remove those. I think they could be hidden in locked mode though, is that your request?

Yes I think so. Basically, I would love if the docked containers (above) would look like the floating one (below):

Which still has the grip area dots and option wheel icon.

I see what you mean, but that will only be possible when the tabs are horizontal. Floating containers always have tabs horizontal. Also they are more superfluous when tabs are text only or text + image, than with icons only.

Ah yes, I didn’t consider vertical tabs. Anywho, yes “hidden in locked mode” would be much appreciated. Similar to how it works in Rhino 7 (second part of this video capture):

Regression: Hide Container Grip Dots When Docked

Cheers Steve. Just gave it a quick go and this new settings appears to hide the four dots, but not the actual gripper box/area/padding. Where in Rhino 7 the whole things disappears when “Lock Docked Windows” is enabled: If it’s not possible to get the less bloated Rhino 7 behaviour back, perhaps making the gripper box as narrow as the old one would at least make the issue less. Also, as apparent from the video this feels like it might be (at least technically) related to this regression: …

Thanks,

Hi @Gijs, with @stevebaer now fixing the YouTrack you linked to above, I just wanted to make sure that the issue raised in this topic didn’t fall through the cracks. Do you know if there is a separate YouTrack item?

hi Anders,

thanks, I took that out of the YT because it needs a bit more thought.

When looking at this in Rhino 7, I see that the panel title there is also hidden in unlocked mode when the tabs have text.

I’m trying to figure out what exactly we need to do in each possible configuration, locked and unlocked:
-docked, vertical, images
-docked, vertical, text
-docked, vertical, image+text
-docked, horizontal, images
-docked, horizontal, text
-docked, horizontal, image+text

Once that is done I report back here with a YT:
