GUI options

WillL84 — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:31:35 GMT

Hi guys, I'm starting to get settled in with 2023 finally. QI have a few questions.

1: Is it possible to have the default home screen layout be thumbnails and not lines of text? I know I can change it but it's not a persistent change.

2: Is it possible to move the tabs bar to the top? I'm used to the tabs being at the top from 2015 and having it at the bottom is annoying and I can't seem to find a way to change it (if there is one already).

EDIT: No, the tabs were at the bottom in 2015. Don't know what I was thinking there.

Thanks.

Hi!

1. All the rest is persistent, not the option you need... there's space to improve the home tab, since is redesigned recently, i believe this will be fixed in the next update.

2. Are you referring to this?

If so, i can't find any way to do that...

1: I'm not sure what you mean here. I want the default view to be thumbnails not the list.

2: Yes that's exactly what I want.

I agree.

Here's an idea that could use some votes:

For your first question about the Home page: this was a regression in the .2 update-- it used to work as you wish, with the default view being thumbnails and persisting as you last set it. We are assured that it will be fixed in the next update.
