Hmmm... about the Go Box in L0
I have decided to use the info bar on the left of my screen, and keep it collapsed (i..e. only symbols showing, just to learn how to do something different in my old age, LOL!)
However, this means that the Go Box disappears, and only re-appears next to the Logos key once I "re-expand" the panel, so it defeats the purpose of collapsing the panel in the first place, since I keep having to expand it every time I want the Go Box.
Could we find a way to solve that? Perhaps include the Go Box at the top of the home screen which is what opens for me whenever I start Logos?
No idea... just thought I'd get it out there...
Thanks! Having fun watching Morris' new intro videos in L10!

You don't have to expand the whole panel...
You just have to click on the "Logos" icon.

Carmin.... I run with info bar on the side..... and when I click on the Logos sign at the top... the go box expands... does yours do that?

Ah, about that "whole dog... new tricks" thing...
Thanks again!

And that's why my first Go To upon having a question is to just come here... I KNOW I'll get a reply, usually in less than 5 mins by one of the other Early Risers around here.
You folks are all a blessing. Have a great day! [}]

You are not alone ...
Instead of having a Logos Logo icon/symbol, there should be a proper "[>]" icon that would indicate that a feature / tool is hiding behind it ?? Obviously, a Logos symbol for such function link is rather misleading, especially so since company logo / symbol is widely used on websites to indicate a link to the company homepage.

If you look back over all the forums in L9... you'll see I only asked about a zillion questions myself. I have always been thankful to the forums and no matter how dumb or "forgotten muscle memory" question I've had.... the forums have always been kind with their answers.
The forums are one of "Logos" hidden features that help to make Logos great. IMHO. [8-|]

Before Logos/Verbum 10, there were numerous complaints that the logo button was wasted space because it didn't do anything. Now the Logos button finally does something, and... [:P] If you want a useless logo button again, try Verbum 10! [;)]

Why would a product icon be expected to do anything? WHAT can it credibly do? On its face, the answer is "nothing", because the icon represents the product, not some particular function. The only thing it "ought" to do, and "ought" is being stretched to breaking there, is to function as a home page icon.
FL "ought" to put a roof on the Logos icon and then eliminate the house icon and replace it with something like Woflgang's suggestion for a Go box.

Indeed .... and I also do not buy the excuse of "it is wasting space" ... are company or product logos wasting space? Well, now it "does" something which nobody expects it to do (such could be called "misleading users / hiding a unrelated function behind a logo" ...
Also, I don't get the point of "wasting space" on screen ... that particular space is so small and essentially irrelevant with no real space gain either ... similar to the idea of gaining space by vertical vs horizontal toolbar. In essence, the supposed "gained space" is so minuscule that in effect it really is irrelevant because whether one more line of text is immediately visible or not, you will have to scroll down anyways to read the other text that does not fit on screen.Wolfgang Schneider

Why not??? I like the hidden command box. Of course, I would help if FL made the announcement more visible.

You kind of made my point, Jack. UNLESS a user has been apprised in advance that the icon has a (SECRET [:-*]) function, most users, like Carmen, won't have any clue that it serves a particular function. If it is to have a function, the most logical one would be to serve as a home page button. A (hidden) Go box could be associated with an icon that clearly indicates that function...with the added benefit of users not having to play phone tag (Chinese whispers) to be made aware of the bizarre secret pass code for accessing fundamental functionality.

THEN put the icon on the bar across the top... and walla walla bingo.... you'll have an automatic hide and reveal menu bar.... which I think would be great!. just saying... [8-|]

Not so ... in that case the Logos Logo Icon would just hide a different not intuitively expected functionality (one similar to the one behind the little arrow icon of the link to collapse/expand the left vertical toolbar ... however, there the arrow provides a visible key for the function)
IF one wants to have links to these function, then drop the Logos Logo icon and add more easily recognizable icons, one for popping up the command box, one for hiding/showing the toolbar as a whole, etc.
