As a final note, and at the risk of repeating my earlier post: I wonder if the tabbedCompact UI could be implemented as a series of toolbars, rather than "notebookBars". From the user's perspective it would look the same (tabbedCompact is only 1 icon "high" after all; it looks just like a toolbar). This would allow users to customise the toolbars, adding and deleting whatever icons they want. You could even offer a "User" tab / toolbar for the user to populate as they wish. "All" that would be needed is the ability for the user to determine which of those toolbars is visible, by clicking on its tab. I'm not a developer, so maybe that's incredibly difficult. But it felt like it might be at least worth some consideration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
