In fact, I have already started renaming the "Developer Console" to "Developer Toolbar" in a change I checked in this morning. The changes were mostly to 2 chapters:
4. Overview of OpenLaszlo Application Development 49. Understanding Compilation I'm about to start some pretty major changes to the Debugging chapter. I also like Developer Toolbar and Debugger Console. If there are no objection, I'll use those terms. Speaking of the Developer Toolbar, is there a chance we (meaning someone besides me) could change the look, specifically the width? On a small monitor, it's 1,200 pixels wide (depending on the screen resolution), and I need to horizontal scroll to see the whole thing. For example, if the radio buttons and checkboxes were aligned horizontally instead of vertically, it would save several hundred pixels. Just a thought.
