I've been staring at code for a while so please forgive me if this is a little obtuse.
I was looking at the Layers dialog and thinking that the buttons for New, Raise, Lower and Delete, could be replaced with stock items (because I noticed the gimp was using stock icons here). Every so often I see new GTK developers using a row of buttons accross the mainwindow of their applications and it is clear a Toolbar would be a better choice. With this in mind it occured to me that it might be a good idea to replace this row of buttons with a toolbar widget, and in case that sounds strange I made a mockup Before screenshot of the Dia layers Dialog http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/dia/dia-layers-dialog-01-before.png After mockup of what the Dia Layers Dialog might look like http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/dia/dia-layers-dialog-02-after.png A side benefit to this might be the option to show or hide text labels alongside the buttons. How does that sound? What do you think? If you dont think the idea is rubbish I'll file a bug report and take a stab at implementing it next week maybe.
