Description Davide Aversa 2012-12-18 13:55:30 UTC
I really like Okular. I think it is the best document viewer of the world. But there is a problem in Okular from a long time: the bottom page bar.

There are many problems related to it:
    1. It UGLY. It introduces too much gray unused space.
    2. It wastes vertical space for just a pair of numbers and two green arrows. In a world made of small 16:9 displays the vertical space it's like pure gold.
    3. Moreover the green arrows have the same function of next/prev buttons in the toolbar.

The only solution now is to disable the page bar... but it's useful to see document pages number! I think there is a more practical solution: remove the page bar and integrate it in some other place. For example we can put the page number indicator between Prev/Next buttons in the toolbar (like in the linked image) or at the bottom of the navigation panel.

In a document viewer application I think that the document must have the maximum space available. My proposal go exactly in this direction.

Have a nice day!

Reproducible: Always

To be honest not sure what you are asking for, all you say can already be done, so it's just a matter of tweaking the defaults that *you* think are ugly to something *you* think is not ugly. Right?
