Re: [libreoffice-design] Guideline for floating widgets

I think the reasoning is well thought and laid out by Heiko. the
resizability doesn't seem to be a big problem for me. Except if the
floating widget looks extremely small in HiDpi displays? (can't test)

Just one question though: where does the floating Sidebar fit into this? I
tried to resize other floating widgets and couldn't, but I can resize the
floating Sidebar. And I could see why resizing it could be useful (as
opposed to the other floating widgets).
