wish: single window ui with navigation Tree

I must admit, this is something that appeals to me, but I'm quite happy to
carry on using it as it is as well

I'm glad it appeals to you. Personally I think that has been a missing feature of GnuCash (besides the fact that it is butt ugly).

HomeBank doesn't suffer from the ugly issue though, just the navigation tree issue. I really like the icons too.

I think it is a nice idea. The issue with multiple windows makes using Homebank for me a bit difficult on a one-monitor system. I would also recommend that the possibility to open two windows is still being there.

In all honesty, I can't see this being implemented any time soon to be honest. I imagine that it would take a large rewrite to accomplish

I totally understand, but this is a wish. Wishes sometimes come true, but mostly we hold onto the hope and dream of our wishes to come true.

Even without a tree, a simple tabbed interface instead of a new floating window per account would be great indeed !

I think ore to do a single window ui with ability to open in a separate window on a double clic into the navigation tree. Like in quicken, or iBank.

Hi, I support this, thanks.

This would be a great improvement of the user interface of the HomeBank. I very much support this idea :) Hope to see it soon.

Tabs (like in modern web browsers) and/or a navigation tree would indeed be really awesome! It would be a great improvement over the current multi-window approach.

I support this concept.

I do a zero based budget where I reconcile the previous budget to balance at the end of the month.

To do this, I need to have the budget entry screen and budget report screen open together. HomeBank doesn't allow for the budget entry screen to be snapped so it makes it difficult to do this process.

A refresh on the UI to help this would be great.
