The current version of the notebook looks like this:
Current_notebook_desing
The design has in my opinion too many bounding boxes and appears still overloaded. The tool buttons attract too much attention and appear misplaced when overlapping the editor field. Therefore I suggest the following more clean and simplistic design:
Proposed_notebook_design
In summary:

  • Line numbers are outside the cell and appear only at the selected cell.
  • Controll icons are on the right and also appear only at the selected cell.
  • The background for the Python code is dark as in standard Jupyter-Notebooks and white for the output (at aleast for the bright color theme). This is more optimal for plots that normally have white background.
  • The execution counter (like [2]) is inside and grouped together with the timing information so that it is not confused with a line number.

Or even more puristic:
VSCode_Notebook
I think the design simplicity of VS Code is one of the major selling points that makes this project is so succesful. I think people would love to see this also in the notebook.

Well, actually, beeing a purist I have no justification for that round circles around the buttons:

I close this issue since the design is meanwhile improved. The tool box is now more discreet on the right which is less annoying. I would still like to have less elements such as lines or buttons which are neither code nor output.
