Easy switching for toolbar icon size from small to large would be nice. The rest would be dressing and I agree with Thomas to make the alternative icons available as separate downloads, though easily installed. > Would you consider that you are customising your TB when you are > selecting font types for folder tree, message list, editor, etc.?

I've since mastered their locations.

Barring the absence of icons to be used for additions to the toolbars, actually finding the commands in that left window can be very tedious for the reasons you stated. > Menu entries can be assigned to tolbars, but there is (currently) no > way to assign an icon to it. This one is bad. It all seems that more incomplete with this issue. > Proper context should be checked for to allow, or not, some menu or > toolbar assignments.

I see a great work here still deeply in progress with regards to the new interface. There's a lot more to do than cosmetic fixes to it. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!� v3.5.21 System Specs: http://www.landscreek.net/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Alone: In bad company. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.21 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
