What ever happened to the improvements suggested here:

I love that sidebar with HORIZONTAL text!
I think the last I heard is that some of this was accepted, but some also required Qt changes, which couldn't be done.
Too bad really, it looks really nice.
cheers,

      In what respect? The length of text/languanges?

      Trying to get the sidebar to "scale" is clearly a case of overengineering. There are wayyyy too many tabs if you need it to "scale" beyond 3 or 4. Usability wise that would just be suicide to have too many tabs. Well I guess it's suicide right now already. =)

      This is why the horizontal design is superior. It solves the right problem not an invented "scale" issue.

        You forgot the uninvented i need to run over the full screen height to switch tabs suckage. Forget it. It's no solution. And it's annoying when you misclick. Go think again (and come with something usable next time, please).
