This bug tracks things we need to polish in the editor area to get closer to the current mockups. - currently the annotation bar and breakpoint bar are white, rather than the expected gray background. This makes it hard to see where the editable area actually begins. - in the mockups, we were playing with the idea of a local editor toolbars, and view toolbars always taking up the second row. This likely won't be happening for 1.0. Linda suggested some "breathing room" top margin be added if the toolbar won't be there. One problem I foresee is that if we have a top margin without a keyline, then it will be hard to know where the editable area begins.
This is a consequence of the UI model only allowing 'MTrimBar' elements in an MTrimmedWindow. While we might consider using the TB area from the CTabFolder I expect that the reason we don't do that in 3.x is because there are always so many editors open that there's no real room for a TB...
I'm going to deal with the top margin experiments and recovering the annotation bar colors.
Thanks Susan. I'm now regretting that we didn't actually model some sort of Editor Area 'frame'. Something that would allow the min/max affordance to show, give at least a place to host TB's...
Moving open bugs to a target milestone that is not in the past. Please adjust target as you see fit.
Breaking up these placeholder bugs into more specific ones now that we have shipped.

We've dismissed the breathing room idea and are tracking the new approach (no space at all) in bug 322834.
