QLC+ 5 Usability Feedback: Movement of "Action" bars

Hello,

Not sure where usability feedback falls in the forum so adding it as an issue.
I've mentioned in the Beta2 thread that the side "action" bars move inward when clicked. This behaviour is unexpected and could make it harder to find actions by muscle memory.

Expected Behaviour:
The bar with actions should stay in place and the menu items should appear to the inside of the screen.

I understand that this may be by design, if so I'd like to hear why that might be.

Environment: Windows
QLC+ Version: 5.0.0 Beta 2

The bar is on the edge so you can drag it and resize the side panel
This is a design choice, sorry

Hey Massimo,

I understand and agree with the need to resize the panel. Is it not possible to have a thin line similar to how other UIs implement this?

Please review this article: https://uxdesign.cc/handlebars-in-ui-de ... 36af67733b

I've included some helpful images from that article here:

Kind regards,
