Dynamic Toolbar: Hide Sub-Menu by Default

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hide the submenu's of the Dynamic Toolbar by default.

As you open Logos to where you left before, Logos displays all submenus of the Dynamic Toolbar, even when you manually closed them before. You can manually hide all submenus (which I always do to create more space for the panel content), but once you close Logos and open it again, all submenus are there again.

The same for when opening a resource, it seems to default to displaying the submenus. The first thing I do for all panels, is to hide the submenus. This is tedious and unnecessary.

I love the Dynamic Toolbar, but I hate that the submenus are displayed by default. Please change the default to the submenus being hidden.

See gif attached.

Instead of making it the default to be hidden or displayed, provide a setting that allows one of 3 options: display submenus by default, hide submenus by default, or leave them as they were when the application was closed.

@Marty Brownfield - Totally agree as I don't want Logos to hide something unless I want it. I totally disagree with you Michael, because it may be annoying for you but respectfully ask you consider other users. Marty has a much better solution than taking a hammer to it.

I think we agree more than you think.

For example, if I want (like you say) to hide the submenus (check out the gif screenshot in the OP), then I want Logos to keep hiding it until I decide to unhide it. But Logos decides for me that, when I close and open the software, I want to see the submenus again. Obviously that's not true.

But I'm glad that there seems to be a solution in the making that looks like users will be given an option as @Marty Brownfield suggested. So, stay tuned!

I'm with you on this Michael. It clutters the screen, and takes up space.

Another good place to free up some surface area would be the formatting toolbox in Notes. I don’t do fancy formatting in Notes, so it’d be nice if I could collapse the formatting box.

Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen.

Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
