Resource Panels in L8 provide less Usable Reading Space
The resource panels and menus need to be resized/re-proportioned to allow for more usable reading space. See the screen shot below and compare the amount of actual bible is visible in the screen. I was trying to figure out why the screen felt so cramped, this is why. The tabs, menus and location bar are too bulky and wide so they leave less space for the actual text. This makes a huge difference on my 14inch laptop screen.
Please consider resizing/re-proportioning things on the screen so that we have more viewing space for the actual text.

As a work around, you can collapse the locator bar by clicking the x at the far right of the locator bar. You can reenable the Locator bar by click the three dots on the far right of the resource tool bar and selecting Locator bar

I noticed that, too. I went into settings to change the program scaling to 80 or 90%. That also give more space. You can then increase font size per resource if needed.

Thanks for the suggestion [:)] ... that gives me back some much needed real estate on my screen. By the way is there a way to globally turn off Locator Bar by default, instead of turning off each resource one by one [:(]
PS: I wonder if Logos developers actually use smaller screen size laptop like 15", 13" so that they can feel the real estate issue some of us faced [;)] (sorry developers)

Thanks for the suggestion. That helps.

(sorry developers)I wondered the same thing. Do they test how things look on small laptop screens, or on computers/laptops with older less fancy displays to make sure the interface is usable and at least adequate for everyone? I wonder if sometimes developers forget that not every has the big fancy displays with super high resolution.
The interface needs significant work anyway. Let's hope we don't have to deal with "work-arounds" forever.

Actually, scaling down actually makes the new font look better as well, less crowded and fuzzy. Thanks again Bernhard!
