I'd like to echo Ferran's observations in their entirety, except
the hide library concern. Hiding the library will indeed be useful
on smaller screens. In addition, I'd like to comment:

- - there's a lot of texture/color based inconsistency in this
version of Deere
- - the labels for the dials are so small as to be literally
illegible on a 1280x1024 monitor
- - the labels and symbols on many of the buttons are either far too
small to see, or show up as some random character

Aside from these things, the actual layout is looking balanced and
sensible.
