sidebar button usage?

andyhdz · 03-30-2021, 02:55 PM

How many of you use that side bar to navigate your way around the game? I've tried and tried to use it but it just never took so I end up just hiding the darn thing.

Couldn't live without it.

That and bookmarks come in very handy.

I use it about one-tenth as much as I do the top menus.

Doesn't eat up too much space, so I haven't felt the need to junk it.

I use it most of the time. But for some reason I can never remember which button is the transactions button so I end up using the top menus for that.

Totally agree (I move the menu to the bottom though).

Just yesterday I noticed the icon bar at the bottom of the page and I was thinking, what is this, is this new for "22?, I couldn't remember seeing it before. Then I remembered and felt a bit silly.
My team in ootp is probably a little worried about their human manager now.

I remember at the start of a new version to move it to the bottom because I used to prefer that but can't remember the last time I used it.

Nice to have options though.

Never use it. It's one of the first things get rid of when I open the game. On the side it eats a column where I could display just one more stat

The bottom? If I'm mousing all the way down there why wouldn't I just mouse at the top?j

For those that like it, great. Me? I know those menus back and forth and bookmark my most used. It's all good as long as we have the option to hide it away.

I'm with you sweed. It's crazy and how my hand just moves around and a few clicks and out pops the screen I want without even really thinking about what I did. Scary. Really scary. That's one of the reasons I don't use the sidebar. My muscle memory beats the "what the heck does this icon do" thinking.

I move it to the bottom, but still only use 4 or 5 of the buttons.

I use it all the time. I have a super wide screen (3440 x 1440) and don’t care about the real estate anyway but I still use it as often if not more often than bookmarks, and I use bookmarks a lot.
