Vertical toolbar mock-up
I agree, the left toolbar with Thumbnails, Reviews, etc., is very handy, but it takes to much space, and the bottom part is empty. With big icons plus text, the wasted empty space is very much. This mock-up has also the vertical toolbar, which I think is much better that a horizontal toolbar.

Created attachment 60149 [details] Edited Screenshot of the suggestion Version: 0.12 (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux Currently, the navigation panel shows four icons in a vertical bar on the left of the navigation panel. It would be nice if the icon bar could be rotated horizontally. (An edited screenshot of how it might look like is attached.) This would make better use of screen space. Even though I am using a widescreen, I often enlarge the navigation panel to be able to read the content lines, bookmark titles or see the thumbnails in a meaningful resolution, but then there is not enough space for the main document (there is never enough). Rotating the icon bar would yield more horizontal space overall at the cost of vertical space in the navigation bar only. I am arguing that the lost vertical space is unused anyway, except for the thumbnail view (where it does not matter that much in my opinion, as one can never see enough pages there anyway). Thanks for considering my suggestion. Reproducible: Always
