+ some more general suggestions: - no more than 2 levels - if required then (max.) 3 levels - icons can be smaller (or at least have the option between e.g.: small, medium, large) - use the empty space on the very bottom panel (left from coordinate:, scale:, [box]Render, CRS status button). Maybe merge with the very top panel (the file - edit - view - ... - help menus)? Nikos ##################################################################### G.
