While preparing the fake screenshot for the document, I realized that having a whole left bar just to change between seven possible views was pretty overkill. Even more in Qt (in which that left area would have a lot of unused vertical space). So I came up with this alternative:
=========================================================== [Configure↓][View↓][Settings↓]
Hm... in Qt, there is usually enough screen space so this is not a problem (and we can afford a little grey space below that thing). But having the alternative views right there on the screen makes them much better discoverable, and much easier to use. Since you have to switch between them a lot, hiding them behind a combo box (very much like in the YQPackageSelector) makes that pretty awkward: - You have to know that they even exist - You have to locate the thing that switches between them (the combo box) - You have to click once on that combo box to open it - You have to click once more to activate that view There is a reason that in the YQPackageManager, the views that you used before remain open as tabs for easy and instant switching. Relegating this completely to a combo box would be a big step backwards IMHO. Bottom line: Don't do it. Just simplify the stuff in that widget down to a reasonable level.
