[eclipse-dev] Fastviews on left side instead of status line at the botto

[Malte Finsterwalder <finsterwalder@xxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

in older eclipse-versions the Fastview-Icons where positioned in the
left column under the Perspective-Icons.
Now the Fastview-Icons are positioned in the status bar.
I find this rather annoying, since it's much more out of the way and 
thus harder to reach with the mouse.

Are there plans to create a more flexible Fastview-Bar, like the new 
Perspective Bar?

It would actually be great to have multiple Fastview-Bars. One on the 
bottom, one to the left, and maybe even one to the right and at the top.

The Fastviews could then fade in from different directions.
This would be very convenient for windows like: Console, Search, 
Problems, Tasks, ... where width is more important than height. They 
could then fade in from the bottom and take up the whole width, but not 
the whole height.

Greetings,
   Malte
