SUGGESTION: Tool Options not in dropdown and to appear below main toolbar

It would be nice to have the tool settings appear directly below the main toolbar, instead of having to click the dropdown.

Great suggestion. The toolbar seems to be a overlooked part but it could be the most frequently used for many. It deservers a redesign:

  • icons to be high resolution (changing icon size makes them ugly)
  • increase the size of the icons
  • add inline text to some important icons
  • ability to change the icon order
  • reduce the number of icons as the main goal, they are way too many and often hidden in the submenu
  • don't let the submenu disappear when mouse moves from the tiny submenu icon to the submenu
  • relocate the tool popups under respective icons, or into a separate toolbar
  • even better, allow the tool popup window appear in the main window by using mouse and or keyboard shortcut on an object
  • split the logical groups of icons to separate toolbars that can move (1. save, run, upload, ..print 2. shape icons 3. from text to highlight 4. rest)
  • add second row of icons
  • add vertical icon column
  • add undo, redo icons

Some of the suggestions are alternative choices. Anything would help, especially in the editor.

Example of way too many icons: image

also it is very annoying that we can not arrange the icons. For example small Screenshots, not all icons are visible in the editor, because the window is to small. I can aggree for second row of icons that ist automatically visible if the first row is full (because of window size) grafik
