Hello Steve Initial reaction — I agree somewhat as it would be easier than grabbing screenshots of visible buttons and possibly make a better layout. I shall try your suggestion.
I think this appendix should be in every guide. Each module has its own set of toolbars and would make it easier for the user. No need to go looking for another guide when wanting to find out something about toolbars. This appendix is easily adapted for use in another guide. I am already thinking about the Draw Guide.
