Readymag Editor Renewed

The refreshed Readymag interface is more uniform and has a simpler structure. All panels are now at the surface layer, accessible in just one click. Nothing is hidden unless absolutely necessary. Although no changes were made to the widget settings and their properties, we’ve shuffled the position of ‘first level’ panels?(Pages, Devices, Widgets, Grid&Guides, etc) and tweaked a few niceties along the way. These panels serve as the very first points of contact for newcomers exploring the?Readymag Editor. They also pave the way to start using the tool smoothly.

The new Editor interface is symmetrical. As of now, it includes two Docks: the Left Dock with ‘material’ stuff (pages, devices, and widgets) and the Right Dock with settings related to structure and planning (cursor modes, grid, project settings, and a set of learning resources).

Both Docks have five buttons each. Like humans have 5 digits per hand.

The Docks also resemble the front of a car with their symmetry.

As Guides&Grid settings have become more frequently used, we took them out of the Layers panel and added them to the top level of the right Dock. They’re now available in just one click.
