When Papyrus starts, it displays 3 options, all of which could be neatly placed in the top bar (to the right of "Papyrus"), which would free up space to display the most recent notes instead.

Most times, when I open Papyrus, it is to read what I wrote earlier, not to alter settings or create empty notes.

(I don't mean to sound grumpy, I'm not a native english speaker and the above simply seemed like the clearest way to put the suggestion.)
