No, I had seen some discussion over on the user's mailing list. The toolbars are based on wxAUI which I think has us within a stone's through of move-able toolbars. I suspect it is not a lot of work from where we are. So if you want to start with some small patches, I think that might be a safe expenditure of your time. (I deliberately avoided use of the work investment :) .) The smaller icons wishes will be coming at us from another herd. I can only hear footsteps right now. Go to the user's mailing list to see the herd. With your theory, maybe they can be persuaded. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
