Customization of toolbar
Motivation
I use different tools with different frequencies. If the toolbar is customizable, I can hide unused tools and rearrange them. Furthermore, I use some sub-tools frequently (such as the shape tool), and it would be better if it is possible to create a button for this subtool in the first level.
Solution
- [ ] General interface to manage tools;
- [ ] Rearrange tools;
- [ ] Create a button for a sub-tool;
- [ ] Hide/show tools;

This suggestion can probably solve also my issue #1146. My idea was to have the option of different sizes of icons in the toolbar (now they seem unnecessarily large - when controlled with a pen, but for finger control, they should probably remain as they are).
The ability to edit the toolbar would be great. In terms of code complexity, I see a bit of an implementation problem. But maybe there would be someone willing to program this option.
Can you show a picture of how you would imagine the modified toolbar? It may be useful in terms of estimating the effort that will need to be spent on implementation.

I imagine that there are existing libraries to do that, similar to how we edit the icons in the drop-list of Android status bar. Coding everything by hand seems to be laborious.

What I imagined is very simple. I listed four functionalities. Hiding / showing / rearranging (or sorting) tools are performed on the button level. Currently, it is possible to hide the finger drawing. It is simply a generalization of this.
The button of sub-tool is simply "moving" the button in the sub-tool (e.g. the shape tool) to the main button list, so that I can enable the shape tool in one click instead of potentially two clicks as currently.
Also, a related fact is, trying to change the pen tool takes around 1/3rd the entire screen and also shifts the canvas, which feels disturbing. Maybe if we could do sth like a floating horizontal bar for changing tool and size (taking minimal space as a floating window), it would be better.
