      * '''Interaction Design''' Main window has standard OS controls for minimize, maximize and restore. Dialogs that are currently considered block the Application window disallowing interactions with it. Main window is drop target for Drag and drop (See [wiki:InteractionAndGraphicsDesign/DragNDrop]). One issue with Sophie 1 was that Mac Sophie used Mac menu bars and not the application menu bars; the Linux & Windows versions used the application menu bars. Sophie 1 was also limited to just the application window, which is not a limitation in Sophie 2.[[BR]]
   * LeftFlap  [[BR]]
-   * '''Description''' The left flap is generally concerned with the structure of the book. In the left flap the use can find a list of open books, thumbnails of all the pages in his current book, and a list of the timelines in the current book. This flap should contain non-editing palettes in order to be used in the Reader app too.

This flap should contain non-editing palettes in order to be used in the Reader app too. 
+   * '''Graphics Design''' Should contain tabs. Tab buttons are currently vertical, but this can be changed. Currently considered are about 6 tabs - Books, Servers, Pages, Book extras, Configuration, Search. Tabs contain palettes[[Image(source:trunk/sophie2-platform/doc/spec-diagrams/LeftFlap.png, 50%)]] 
+   * '''Interactions Design''' Can be resizeable. Height depends on main window size. 
    * ConfigTab  [[BR]]
     * '''Description''' [dev]This tab contains the palettes showing what plugins Sophie is using. It's worth noting that these palettes are not going to be important to most users when making books; maybe this functionality could be hidden in a floating window called from the menu bars rather than appearing in a palette?[[BR]]

   * RightFlap  [[BR]]
+   * '''Description''' - The right flap contains editing tabs. These include Resources, Changes, and Library tabs. This may also contain Search tab, with Search and Replace in author and search in Reader app.
    * LibraryTab  [[BR]]
      * '''Description''' The library tab contains Sophie "primitives": different types of frames and book templates. "Library" is not a great name for this (also too similar to "resources"); something better should be imagined.[[BR]]
