Reducing clutter in Bars RecentDocumentControl

Hi Jason,

The legacy Ribbon's recent document control had large and small variant sizes.  The large variant would render the filename and a description under it, with a tooltip that had the full path.  The small variant would just show the filename and had a tooltip with the full path.

In the Bars implementation of a recent document control, there also are large and small variant sizes that align more with current Office apps.  They are not as densely packed as the legacy versions, but generally show similar things.  As you noted the new large variant also offers grouping, and a second column with date information.

Are you effectively looking for properties to turn off the DateTime column in the large variant, and also hide the separator in each item?

Yes, that's exactly it. I would like to remove the following from the large variant:

1. the headings
2. the date time column
3. the separators

Basically bring it closer to how it was in the Ribbon product.

Thanks, in advance,

__Jason

Or failing that, it might be okay to remove the separator lines from the small variant.

We display the recent documents lists in a splash screen and a backstage tab. The former is more constrained for space so it might be argued that we should switch to the new small variant there.

Thanks again.
