Convert resource/panel toolbars into slide menus

MJ. Smith · 2025-03-04T16:25:19+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

One of the complaints about the new resource toolbar is the amount of space it takes up in the panel. For users who crowd their layouts with multiple panes this has always been a problem. The result is many multi-screen layouts. For many linked resources, there is rarely a need to use the toolbar at all. Therefore, I suggest that the resource/panel toolbars be reduced to the tab and a slide menu with the option to "freeze" the slider in "always show" as one does in Microsoft.

You would have to choose that option with each linked book except the Master, which still needs a Reference box (as with Multi-book View). So you would save one line with the "Slaves" in actual use.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean - in a slide menu the menu items still have values - they simply are not showing. Why is it necessary to see the reference box for "slaves"? If you need to see it, slide the menu out.

Create Distraction-free Reading mode option on Mobile
Currently, there is no way to completely clear the screen from UI elements and create a distraction-free reading mode. I personally find this book title bar at the top of the screen annoying, and it causes me to want to do my reading on other tools like Kindle or other distraction-free readers. With a tap, I can go from…
Reading View: Reading Progress in Books
I'd like to keep track of how much of a book I've read, similar to the way Kindle does. Kindle can show a percentage of the book I've read, Page X of Y, X minutes left in chapter, or X hours and Y minutes left in Book. This wouldn't be useful for books that are primarily used for reference, but it would be nice for books…
Ability to link to other documents from Sermon Builder
I often find myself needing to link to items with Logos in my sermon, but don't necessarily want to paste content from that document. For instance, I will create a Canvas doc that inserts at a particular place in my document. I'd like to insert a link to that resource that I can click on. Thank you for this consideration.
Sermon Editor Request
I would find it very helpful if the sermon builder had a style dropdown entitled "application" in the similar manner that it has for "illustration" and "prompt". It just helps me visually flag content in my sermon manuscript in that category.
iPad sync highlights
To me it is a major downside of using Logos on iPad that my highlights are not synced across my different bibles. If I do a highlight in ESV, I can't get it to show up in my Greek bible, etc. iPads these days are more than powerful enough to handle a feature like this. Please enable it for iPads! It's one of the biggest…
