Layout priorities Examples from OutlookXP
Last modified: 2013-09-13 12:33:42 UTC
I installed OutlookXP on a friends computer (yes I know but... :) Then I noticed that the layout of the Summary is MUCH better there than it is in Evolution. Evolution prioritises Wheather and Links, pushing the Meetings and such away to the side. Even if I dont want to show any links or Wheather there's still a "My Wheather" icon and text in the Summary and a WHOLE LOT of whitespace. In OutlookXP the Meetings are showed like this --------------------------------------- Meetings for September, week X Monday 18:30 - Meeting with parents, (at home) 20:00 - Watch Friends, (TV) Tuesday 16:00 - Coffe with Sandra, (inner City) Thursday 21:00 - Watch X-Files, (TV) -------------------------------------- Depending on what view you choose the Tasks and E-mail folders appeared on different places, but mostly where they are now in Evo. -------------------------------------- This gives a greater overview of what I have to do this week (number of days forward is ofcourse selectable. I'd like for both the Calender and Summary to print out the Location of the meeting so I don't have to open the meeting to know where I should go.. This layout should atleast be an option, since I rarely use the Links section, The Link section could even fit in a third column in the middle.
This is a splitup of the 28873 suggestions
A small improvement would be to print the meetings like this: <bell> <time> <date>, <summary>, <location> Instead of the current: <bell> <time> <date>, <summary> The way it is now I write "Java lab, SU16" in my summary so that I shall know which computer hall it is in.. this should be automatic when I put SU16 in <location>
