Sorry for the long silence. I have been busy at work and then on vacation. Personally I do not like the idea of the vertical toolbar specifically for Okular for the following reasons: - Okular differently from Gwenview already has a tab bar, which means that further splitting the reviews tab into two pieces add another nesting level. - Splitting the Review tab horizontally with the toolbar on top and the reviews below seems quite cluttered to me. Also that review tab could be improved (see T8553 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T8553>) and may require all the vertical space (e.g. show the full text of the notes, allow to reply, etc. See Foxit for example). - It is not possible to build the toolbar with KXMLGUI as it is now, but needs to be built programmatically (I think). The Gwenview toolbar is not a standard toolbar, indeed it cannot be edited or moved. The reasons for which I prefer to make the annotation toolbar a standard toolbar displaying only the icons are: - Many other programs have similar icon-only toolbars (e.g. libreoffice, and also other PDF viewers e.g. MacOS viewer and Adobe reader). For the annotation toolbar I would conform with the other PDF viewers. - The icon buttons have tooltips and likely the users will quickly learn them - The toolbar is standard and can be customized by the user.
