Description Fabiano Fidêncio 2015-12-16 10:41:14 UTC 
Would be nice to have a way, for the user, to select only the switcher items that make sense for his/her use case. An example could be only showing "Mail" and "Calendar" instead of having "Mail", "Calendar", "Contacts", "Tasks" and "Memos" in a case where the last 3 are never used.

Hmm, where such option would be? One more gsettings hidden option with a list of "disallowed" buttons in the switcher, with the default to disallow none?

I actually thought about having an UI for this. View -> Switcher Appearance -> Edit ... and then a simple List where you could select in a checkbox which are the items you want to see.

But if you prefer a hidden gsettings it may work as well.

Milan and I talked about this issue on IRC Yesterday.
As a first step (and maybe last, mainly because there are no duplicates of this bug) a hidden gsettings option is the preferable way to go. An UI can be added later if there is some need for it.
Comment 4 Milan Crha 2016-01-13 16:05:52 UTC 
For master only, due to new translatable strings in the settings. The key is org.gnome.evolution.shell buttons-hide and contains the names in the description.
