I am not the author of Muine, but this was discussed on the Muine list quite a while ago: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/muine-list/2004-February/msg00069.html I have tried to clone Muine's interface into my application: http://gnome-look.org/content/pre1/16301-1.png (the window in the foreground) > I would have figured a toolbar (with an application default of priority > text) would work just as well or better (but I'm biased). IMO Muine's current button layout http://muine.gooeylinux.org/muine.png looks more clean than the one pointed out in the above thread http://brokenbits.de/lars/cruft/rb-player.png However, if Jorn would place the current buttons into a toolbar, users could hide the border of it using themes, and would still have it look the same. So I can't think of a reason not to use a toolbar instead. -Samuel -- ------------------------------------------------------ | Samuel Abels | http://www.debain.org | | spam ad debain dod org | knipknap ad jabber dod org | ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
