Oh yeah, and for single-page layouts, instead of center-aligning the icons and having margins on both sides, the pages can be left-aligned as they are now, but with the master page name onto the right. |

If you want to go "all the way" with this, you could do something even more awesome: nuking the "Available master pages" section at the top, and in the remaining "Document pages" section at the bottom, have the master page names actually be interactive combobox/dropdown widgets that you can change directly, serving a dual purpose instead of just displaying the name. The "drag a master page to a document page" functionality gets replaced by the combobox. The only "problem" I foresee so far is that you might need to use a "tabs" layout (or a button, "Edit master pages") to separate "Document Pages" from "Master Pages" editing mode. |

Nice mockup. I like the idea of centering it so there is better use of the space. Keep in mind a few things: * devs are eyeing the developments going on over at indigoDock (https://github.com/nitramr/indigoDock) with the high probability of including it in 1.5.3 or 1.5.4 * Issues like those that have been proposed by PeterBenedek and implemented by Franz (0013297) to spruce up this MasterPages UI have been tried but they were reverted due to difference in aesthetics. So there may be less of an inclination to do any heavy coding for this current UI if it may change in one of the next minor versions. Nevertheless, mockups are always welcome. |

Why do we have all that wasted space in the Document Pages window? This mockup proposes something very clean with the ability for Scribus to actually implement Franz's 0013297 in a better way. There is room for the Master Page name, we can color code that. We could also add other information since, again, there is space to. |
