Description Tommi Komulainen 2004-05-17 13:44:34 UTC 
Drawer properties includes a "Show hide buttons" checkbox, which if set puts a
nice little (arrowed) button at the end of the opened drawer.  However, when
unset there's instead a drag handle at the beginning and the end of the opened
drawer.

The purpose of the drag handles remains a complete mystery, I think they
shouldn't be there.

The handle serves a purpose in non-expanded panels  with "Show hide buttons"
unchecked.  We could drag the panel, get the context menu etc with the handle.
However with a drawer it may not be required.

Could we have an option to hide the drag handles, on my small screen and low res
monitor (1024x768 on a 14" monitor) I could do with getting the pixels back...
As I *never* move my toolbars I do not see why the drag handles cannot be moved.

Plus the drag handles look ugly.

I was talking about drawers.  That's not the same thing as floating panel, is it?
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2004-10-20 06:39:33 UTC 
Sorry, I had not seen it was about drawers.
