Re: [evolution-patches] fix for 57653 : toolbar visibility

however, I can say that the HIG does indeed specify that toolbars should
be hideable. As long as all of the options which are accessible through
the toolbars are accessible through the menus too (which obviously they
should be), then this option is fine (and appropriate) to adopt.
BTW, you should give the new menu item a keyboard shortcut.

Hi Anna,

One thing I just noticed about my patch is that is uses the mnemonic "T" for the menu item. This is kind of the de facto standard for this item but I don't think it is required.

The problem is that "T" is used in the View menu for:

Mail
  _Threaded Message List Ctrl+T

Calendars
  Select _Today Ctrl+Alt+T


What do you recommend? I suppose the most important thing is that the mnemonic be consistent across components.

On a related note, I would like to submit patches that add View menu items to toggle the visibility of the sidebar and the search bar too. They would have similar issues.

Thanks,
Jon
