In your “Simple View,” keep the bars. They add info without adding complexity.
I hope that the outlines will also have some numbering, etc. options rather than just the bullets and optional lines connecting outline items that are at the same level.

Numbering column is always present. It was simply made very narrow in that screenshot.
Connecting lines display is an option

Pierre,
To be honest, SimpleView2 is the first time I’ve seen (or recall seeing) the numbering done in a separate column, rather than replacing the bullets that are just before the text. I can see some advantages to this way of numbering. Whether it would bother some people used to other schemes is difficult to say.
If you run into questions about GV, ask. For many years it was my sole calendar, PIM, and writing environment.

Just one hint: Save the screenshots as GIF or PNG files. The JPG files look sh…
And keep them simple.
And do keep your app simple. It does not make sense to add every feature you like in other apps - yours will soon get overloaded and slow (why do I have to think of Ideamason right now?). Always ask yourself: How does that fit in with my vision of what my app should be like?
