[Straw-devel] A UI few suggestions

[Steven Garrity]

Hi all,
I'm not much when it comes to python, but I do have a few UI 
suggestions. Forgive my asking without contributing - hopefully my 
suggestions will be considered a "contribution" :-)

Can we use a real GtkStatusbar?
It would ad a window resize grip to the bottom right of the primary 
window, which looks great, at is useful in that it adds a larger 
clickable area for window resizing.

In the Straw Preferences and Feed Properties, can we add a units label 
to the Polling time input boxes. Right now, it's not clear if the times 
are  minutes or seconds. I assume it's in minutes, but it can't hurt to 
be explicit about it.

In the Straw Preferences, there's room to the right of the input boxes 
to put the word "minutes". I've mocked this up in Glade:

However, the "Use Default" checkbox takes up this space in the Feed 
Properties, so that might require a little reworking.

I'd also like to see Next Unread and maybe some of the other 
navigational items from the Go menu as a buttons on the toolbar.

I understand some CSS is going to be used to layout the feed contents. I 
have quite a bit of experience with CSS, so let me know if I can be of 
help there.

Thanks for all the great work,
Steven Garrity
