[Github-comments] [geany] Widescreen usability issue with button placement in file reload banner (#706)

[Calum Lind]

I am not sure what you specifically call the reload banner but here is a screenshot, pointing to the issue:

Overall I really  happy that this banner was introduced and it was something I was hoping would be implemented. The problem I am finding is that at fullscreen the buttons are placed far too far away from any other part of the application and require significant extra mouse movement. 

It might be that gtk constrains what is possible without writing a custom widget but what I would propose is that if possible place the buttons on the lefthand side. 

I made a quick mockup on my proposal, also reducing the amount of vertical space the banner takes up:
