Yes i had noticed the interesting behaviour before when i took a screenshot at
both 1024x768 and 1280x800 and saw that they hid the cut, copy and format
painter labels. I think this might be an interesting idea to try and implement
in our toolbars, by temporarily hiding some of the lesser used buttons when the
size is shrunk.

Well i primarily just stretched the lines part and enlarged the bullet
character and changed the roman numeral numbering to digits. I hope you are
okay with these changes.

Well that would do as well. :D

Glad to hear it.

Any update on Alex's progress on the save icon, as it would be important to get
this fixed before the feature freeze, or else we'd have to let this change for
the 4.5 release.
