Increase the writing area
The writing area in GN5 is actually reduced with respect to 4. I spend 100% of my time writing notes in the same colour, so the always present toolbar is a waste of space. I would like a toolbar which contracts when not used and expands when touched, something like the menubar in OSX. More writing area! At least, make the toolbar more compact

This template helps with prose journaling holding the tablet in the opposing hand so you can create three points of contact all the way down the page. Sucks for printing though.

Looking at the menu bar(s) in GN5, it looks like it could be reduced a lot to the idea of fewer icons and sorted better. The search icon could easily be embedded into the page thumbnails pop up as well as the bookmarks feature. The photo camera and text box add buttons could be deleted since they already exist in the “+” icon. Then it could be a cool space saver to do a tap and hold-release to show and select the line weights and/or colors for the tools so you just really show the tools themselves.
The features added in v5 are awesome but the interface is a bit crowded which as they said reduces the write surface area considerably.
LITERALLY ANYTHING to bring the writing area up as big as possible!!

Agreed. The menu bar has more than doubled in size and it reduces the size of my documents... especially poopy when you already have bad handwriting, lol! There’s needless duplication of features like adding photos/text etc, there’s already an “add” button, hit add and select what you’re adding, clear up that space and get the menu bar back to where it was size-wise!
