I've asked Tom about similar things just a few days ago and it appears that proper implementation of this is on hold until GTK4, see https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/Roadmap Regarding the mockup, I'm not really fond of the idea of using it in image viewers in windowed mode. Unlike Audience which doesn't have any controls that are supposed to be accessed frequently, the "previous image" and "next image" are typically used rather frequently in photo viewers. Using a transient does save space all right, but switching images using mouse that's a one-click action in e.g. EOG turns into a lengthy process - the user should reveal the bar, then click the button, and then hide the bar to have a better look at the image. Quite cumbersome when compared to one click. It appears to be the best solution for fullscreen mode, however. I do agree with placing the toolbar at the bottom, by the way. I've been advocating this layout quite a while ago. In viewer apps the content is primary and controls are secondary, so it makes perfect sense to place them *after* the content in the order of reading. Besides, it balances the window by counterbalancing the titlebar. -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff
