Update GoldenDict 1.0.1-444-g1680084: http://rghost.ru/42573510

Changes:
* Side-panel sizes are restored properly now.
* Redesign of search panel (Ctrl+F) to consume less horizontal space.
* Dictionary info is read-only in UI now.

Please try it out and let me know if you have any issues with the new interface (enable it via View -> Search Pane).

Here's what I use:

I'm going to make the new UI the default one so please test it to make sure we have the best UI possible for the new users.

P.S. My qt-style.css file:

Code: Select all
#navToolbar::separator { /* WARNING: hides all separators! */
  width: 0px;
  margin: -3px;
}

#navToolbar #beforeScanPopupSeparator, #navToolbar #afterScanPopupSeparator, #navToolbar #separatorBeforeZoom, #navToolbar #separatorBeforeSave {
  background: rgba(0,0,0,0%);
  width: 0px;
  margin: -3px;
}

#navToolbar #soundButtonXX, #navToolbar #backButton, #navToolbar #forwardButton, #navToolbar #zoomInButton, #navToolbar #zoomOutButton, #navToolbar #zoomBaseButton, #navToolbar #saveArticleButton, #navToolbar #printButton {
  width:   0px;
  height:  0px;
  margin:  -3px;
}

#dictsPaneTitleBar {
  background: lightblue;
  margin: 2px;
}

QMainWindow::separator {
     width:  1px; /* when vertical */
     height: 1px; /* when horizontal */
}

Hi Tvangeste,

I will stick to setting the min-width property in my qt-style.
On this new version (x.444), the panes will restore to its previously chosen size after quitting GD, but not after minimizing it (at least that´s what I´m getting here).
Thanks for posting your qt-style.css, I´m trying to center the navigation buttons.
Only thing I miss now is a 'Minimize to tray' option...
Here´s my layout:

Edit: the close to tray option is similar, in my opinion, to the 'minimize to tray', but they´re not really the same thing. Utorrent, for example, offers both.
Edit 2: now it´s centered:

"Always on Top" feature has been requested fairly often, so I've just added it.

Enable/disable it via menu: View -> Always on Top. Or via shortcut Ctrl+O.

Happy New Year! :)

Just made a special "menu button" a-la Chrome wrench button, when the main menu bar is hidden (via Control+M).
