Struggling to get used to OF4 from OF3 (Mac)

@kcase thank you for your response, Ken!

  1. I have to admit, I’ve never fully explored/understood the columns/fluid layout options - at least since OF2 - so I will have a play around and see if there’s something that suits me better. Like a lot of features I think I learned what worked for me years ago and haven’t revisited… Thanks for your suggestions on fluid though, and I will do my best to make some time to email in feedback.
  2. I suspect this is one of those ‘you can never satisfy everyone’ issues - particularly with a package as complex and with as long a history as OF! I can certainly see how if you’re not used to something disappearing it would be disconcerting. I’ll try to retrain my muscle-memory - I use Cmd-K to clean up the Inbox already.
  3. You’re right, it’s a non-retina display (Dell UltraSharp U2515H) so that might indeed explain subtle differences. I’ve been waiting for there to be more options for 5K displays… In the interim I think I can make it work by boosting the font to 14, which isn’t too big on the Retina display of the MacBook Pro but is big enough on the external.
  4. D’oh. It’s right there… thanks for pointing that out!

I’ve got one other niggle that occurred to me after I’d posted - I’ve had OF3 set with the ‘always use dark sidebar’ option (in fact, I’d not realised it was even an option). I see others asked for this to be reinstated during the beta period 3 years ago, in more than one topic/post, but I don’t think it made it… perhaps I could add my voice to this request?

Thanks again for your engagement, I appreciate it!
